A major addition is in the works for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colorado. The new building will cover nearly 175,000 square feet and will make up nearly a third of NREL, it will also add 24 labs and up to 250 jobs. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory is the U.S. Department of Energy’s primary lab for renewable energy and energy efficiency research and development. Its goal is to find new energy efficient ways to power our homes, business and cars.
The new Energy Systems Integration Facility will be designed and built by J.E. Dunn Construction Group to meet LEED Gold certification. “We are eager to begin construction on this unique facility that will help speed the adoption of renewable energy for everyone’s everyday use,” said Dan Arvizu, lab director.
