以下内容来自建筑事务所所述。这处的能源创新中心其实是一处展示工厂，智能的能源开发和绿色的建筑实践同时存在与一个特殊的装置之中。这处面积达27000平方英尺的LEED 铂金中心给前来的游客提供一处参观场所，在这里，参观者们能够学习并体验最新的技术——能源效率、可再生能源、智能电网、可代燃料技术。
From the architect. The Energy Innovation Center is a working showcase that demonstrates smart energy initiatives and green building practices, all housed in one unique setting. This 27,000 square foot LEED Platinum center offers visitors a venue for learning and exploring the latest in energy efficiency, renewable energy, smart grid and alternative fuel technologies.

建筑项目在地址选择上具有一定的战略性，希望这座建筑作为一公共事业来刺激当地社区的经济发展并向大家展示振新能源技术和可持续性的可能。而实现这些的方法就是让这座几乎被大家遗忘的建筑以一个新身份：社区中心来回归大家的视野。这个设计项目的范围涉及到基地利用一片树林大小的太阳能树木来展示能源的生产，具有延展性的块石路面以及一块(利用微生物净化有毒废物场或受污染水域等的用来和传统景观作对比的)生物治理景观岛，以此来治理暴风洪水。最后还有一块展示花园，选择使用非传统的耐旱植物与传统的景观作出对比。
The project’s location was strategically chosen by the utility to help stimulate economic development in the local community and to demonstrate the possibilities for renewing a near-forgotten building by bringing it back to life as a regional hub for emerging energy technology and sustainability. The project’s scope expands onto the site utilizing a grove of solar trees for demonstrating power generation, permeable paving surfaces and bioremediation landscape islands for storm water management, and a demonstration garden to compare traditional landscapes with alternative drought tolerant planting options.

经过几十年错误的老建筑更新的掩埋，当下现存的建筑也脱下他的外衣，露出了他赤裸裸的形式——如古老的中世纪建筑一般的形态——低坡度的屋顶，玻璃的立面还有空旷的室内平面。在建筑的一侧凿出一个院落空间，并以开放的玻璃墙的形式嵌入建筑内部。如此一来，室内的在这个开放的庭院空间周边的房间则可以拥有与室外的联通还可以获得阳光和通风。而白色的喷涂泡沫隔热屋顶则覆盖了一列列的光电和热量的太阳能板。此外，在屋顶上还安置了卓效的独立空调。
Buried under decades of misguided renovations, the existing building has been stripped down to its bare form exposing a classic mid-century design with low-pitched roof, glass façade and open plan. By notching a courtyard with operable glass walls into one side of the building, interior program uses surrounding this new open-air garden space now have an outdoor connection providing daylight and ventilation. The white spray-on foam insulation rooftop is covered in arrays of photovoltaic and thermal solar panels which share space with a variety of ultra-efficient HVAC units.

会议室可以用来培训和讲解，在商业性质的展示厨房里你可以观赏到专业大厨尝试并实验新的高效的厨房设备。而功能性的只能房屋可以向你展示当下最先进的在住宅运上运用的高校能源——LED和荧光的灯光装置；节水设备；空调设施；家庭电用汽车的充电过程；太阳能生产以及贮存系统；打破由墙体围合的庭院区域，从而向大家展示利用自给式节水技术的垂直花园系统。天光能够照亮后勤部分的办公室，这儿使用了极好的能够拆卸的家具。在画廊区，用交互的展示手法向大家展现灯光技术。在大厅里，有可外借的图书馆和咨询台。
Seminar rooms for training and instruction; a commercial demonstration kitchen where new energy efficient restaurant equipment can be tried-out and tested by professional chefs; a functioning “smart home” representing the latest in energy efficient residential appliances, LED and fluorescent lighting fixtures, water saving devices, HVAC equipment, in-home electric vehicle charging, solar power generation and energy storage systems; a courtyard break-out area with living wall feature demonstrating vertical garden systems utilizing self-feeding water saving technology; a sky lit administrative office area using repurposed furniture including demountable partitions; gallery space with interactive displays for lighting technologies; a lobby with lending library and interactive information kiosks.
