Harvard wants to save energy
A recent report said Harvard wants to save energy and fit into the neighborhood. Posted by Town Online, the report by staff writer Meghann Ackerman said architect Stefan Behnisch met with the Harvard Allston Task Force to outline some of the concepts he wants to include as the university expands into the Allston neighborhood. Behnisch said wind and sunlight patterns will be considered in the design of the buildings to reduce energy usage. "These are going to be large buildings, so cutting down on energy by 30 percent would be a lot," he told Ackerman. Pumping air into the building from tubes under the building can naturally cool offices and labs by 15 degrees, Behnisch continued. I hope he will also include lots of PINK insulation.
