Renewable Energy Transit Depot

The Missouri S&T Renewable Energy Transit Depot is a new “green-building” fabricated from four recycled shipping containers. The overall design emphasizes state-of-the-art strategies for sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, material and resource selection, and indoor environmental quality. This transit depot is a multifunctional building acting as the terminus of the hydrogen shuttle bus service, home of the EcoCAR team offices and training space, architectural wind turbines and a solar photovoltaic canopy. Architectural wind turbines provide an attractive and cost effective renewable energy technology option when installed on buildings. The utilization of green building design concepts (such as the solar canopy) and construction methods provide immediate and measurable results for building owners and occupants.     E3=C
