NASA to Build Sustainability Base

Later this month, NASA will begin work a Sustainability Base (named as an homage to the original Tranquility Base,) at Ames Research Center in Sunnyvale, CA. Goals include zero net energy consumption, a reduction of water consumption by more than 90% in comparable buildings of that size and lower maintenance costs. The $20.6 million building will be the greenest government edifice to date and will utilize water recycling systems, fuel cells and solar panels.
