The new chemistry laboratory and office building at Vassar College, New York State exemplifies the integration of climate, site and building configuration which reduce loads to a minimum, and active, passive and hybrid solar heating and cooling systems. The integration of these factors with energy efficient mechanical/electrical systems results in a building which uses 32,000 Btu's per square foot per year compared to a standard practice building which would require 199,000 Btu per square foot per year.
