Phased renovation/replacement of the existing 17,500 SF museum centered around an 1850's residence, which was the original gallery from 1921. The project goal is to attain a LEED Silver Rating. Sustainable systems will include the use of geothermal heat pumps, energy recovery units, natural ventilation, photovoltaic panels, and extensive use of natural light. The natural ventilation system is an active system that is enabled when the outdoor conditions are favorable, at which point, all HVAC systems within spaces being served by the "natural ventilation" system will turn off, and an indicator will advise staff to open windows (that will be in addition to louvers with automatic dampers). It is anticipated that the sustainable concepts will afford the museum energy savings in excess of 50% compared to the baseline model. FOGG Art Museum, Harvard University, Boston, MA.
