Construction on one of the world’s largest net zero buildings, called La Jolla Commons II in LaJolla CA, has begun. Hines says the tower will become carbon-neutral through a combination of directed biogas and fuel cell technology that will produce more electricity than the building consumes. One of the many innovations are the fuel cells, created by Bloom Energy, which will convert methane into electricity. This is the second project by Hines real estate company, the first was La Jolla Commons I, a LEED Gold certified building. They continue to use innovation to help reduce the environmental impact of their buildings and help CA meet it’s ambitious energy standards.
