Chrisney Library
Chrisney, Indiana
This 2,400-square-foot project is the first zero net energy library in Indiana. The land for this library is adjacent to an elementary school and backs up to an outdoor learning lab. The Photovoltaic and active solar panels will go on a Learning Power Pavilion behind the traditional library building. The building is located among tall trees and the Learning Power Pavilion is in the full sun. The building will feature full daylighting, passive heating and ventilation with a thermal slab heat source. A geothermal heat pump will provide back-up heating and cooling. Renewable energy will offset 100 percent of the energy demand for the building. On sunny days, the electric meter will spin backwards.
