To Green and beyond

NASA is known for being a leader in technology; well they just upped the ante with their new research center. The building got LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) highest standard possibly, Platinum. The design of the building is also more efficient because of the software that was used to design it. The architect could see how the environment would react to the building being rotated ten degrees. It also features a system of pipes going through the ceiling of the building that carries the water for the building that also cools the building. It will also use the used shower water for toilets, making it less wasteful then just using from a different source. It will only need forty days on the grid to fuel it; this will be days that the weather will interfere. This could be used in schools and other building that has a lot of people to cut cost and better the people in them.
