Duke University - Environment Hall: Nicholas School of the Environment
Type
As one of the world’s premier schools for the study of environmental
science and policy, the Nicholas School of the Environment attempts to
understand the Earth, its inhabitants and the environment as an
integrated whole by addressing the critical issues of climate change,
energy, water quality, ecosystem management and conservation and human
and environmental health. Environment Hall, the School’s new front door,
mirrors this mission by employing low-energy sustainable building
systems aimed at reducing the project’s environmental impact and serving
as a teaching tool for the School and its community. This is reflected
by the project goal of LEED Platinum Certification with a targeted
energy reduction of 40% over the baseline ASHRAE 90.1 (2004) building.
Environment Hall includes faculty and departmental offices, advanced
computing laboratories and classrooms, a reading room and environmental
art gallery all wrapped in a high-performance exterior envelope
specifically tuned to the site. A thermal corridor along the south
utilizes a relaxed temperature strategy to further insulate the program
and reduce overall energy consumption.
