Design
Energy modeling was performed continuously through the design process to inform system choices, glazing selection, and myriad other design decisions. Simple payback, EUI reduction, and carbon reduction metrics were applied to multiple energy-efficiency measures to further inform decision-making.

Post-Occupancy
M&V is ongoing with the full participation of the architects/tenants of the building. Overall energy use is being tracked, along with sub-metering data from office lighting and plug loads, as well as total domestic hot water, heating, cooling, and electrical usage in the residences.

The production of the solar thermal array is being metered, as is the production of the wind turbines, which will be compared to production estimates made during design. Flow visualization of the wind over the roof will be performed with smoke bombs in order to compare actual conditions to those modeled in the wind tunnel.

User satisfaction surveys and continuing glare and roller shade use studies will also be conducted.
