3. Problem Statement
• Design a state of the art building for State University of
New York (S.U.N.Y) using renewable resources and
hydrogen to produce electricity for the building’s energy
needs. The proposed design will use green technologies
and follow LEED standards to reduce the impact on the
environment and be more efficient than the baseline
energy load. This includes a design that is realistic,
practical, and reduce pollution while staying within the
$28 Million budget.
