这座50，000平方英尺的创新办公大楼位于加利福尼亚州莫菲特菲尔德的美国宇航局艾姆斯研究中心的入口处。这座建筑最标志性的特征是它的结构。在美国宇航局艾姆斯校区的风洞和美国宇航局卫星图像的启发下，外骨骼方法在地震事件中提高了建筑的结构性能，为采光和遮阳策略提供了一个框架，并创造了一个无柱的室内空间，方便了工作场所的灵活性。

The innovative, 50,000 square-foot office building is located at the entrance to NASA’s Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California. The most iconic feature of the building is its structure. Inspired by the wind tunnels of NASA Ames Campus and the images of NASA satellites, the exoskeleton approach gives the building increased structural performance during seismic events, provides a framework for daylighting and shading strategies, and creates a column-free interior space that facilitates workplace flexibility.

建筑工地设计为净能量正。通过优化能源需求和通过可再生能源提供所需供应这两项战略，可持续基地的总体目标是只依靠具有成本效益的可再生能源形式。虽然自然采光和通风是最大化的，但建筑仍然有一个积极的供暖和冷却系统，以保持舒适全年。所使用的突出显示的能源系统包括：

The building site is designed to be net energy positive. Through the two strategies of optimizing energy demand and providing the needed supply through renewable sources, the Sustainably Base’s overall goal is to rely only on renewable forms of energy as they become cost effective. Although natural daylighting and ventilation is maximized, the building still has an active heating and cooling system to maintain comfort throughout the year. The highlighted energy systems used include the following:

地源热泵：

Ground Source Heat Pump:

106口井眼，地温全年58度

106 well bores, 58º F ground temperature year round

预期电力转换效率55%(几乎是常规发电厂和电网系统效率的两倍)

Expected electric conversion efficiency 55% (almost twice conventional power generating plant and grid system efficiency)

水的总体目标是建立一个闭环系统，使落在现场的水以同样的速度、体积和清洁的预开发条件离开。整个建筑物使用的水固定装置优化性能，包括流量和自动控制系统的质量和数量。

The overall water goal is to create a closed loop system that will allow water that falls on the site to leave at the same rate, volume and cleanliness of predevelopment conditions. Water fixtures used throughout the building optimize performance, including quality and quantity of flow and automated control systems.

地下水减少了对饮用水的需求。一个现有的设施，以泵和清理受污染的水系地下水，位于附近的建筑工地。可持续发展基地使用这种洁净的水来灌溉景观。

Groundwater reduces the demand for potable water. An existing facility to pump and cleanse contaminated MEW groundwater is located near the building site. Sustainability Base uses this cleansed water to irrigate the landscape.

美国宇航局(NASA)为国际空间站(InternationalSpaceStation)开发的正向渗透水回收系统，将水净化成饮用水质量。由于加州的规定限制使用经处理的废水，它目前用于处理洗涤池和淋浴所产生的灰色水，以便在厕所和小便池中进行再利用。这项技术将在地球上进行监测和测试，以完善其在空间的性能。

A forward osmosis water recycling system, developed by NASA for use on the International Space Station, purifies water to drinking quality. Due to regulations in California limiting use of treated wastewater, it is currently used to treat gray water from sinks and showers for reuse in toilet and urinal flushing. The technology will be monitored and tested on Earth to perfect its performance in space.

智能景观设计包括本土和耐旱物种的选择，滴灌系统和水净化系统的设计。这进一步减少了对水的需求，并净化了经过现场的水。

Intelligent landscape design includes native and drought-tolerant species selection, drip irrigation systems and the design of water cleansing systems. These further reduce water demand and cleanse water that runs through the site.

可持续发展基地的内部积极支持所有居住者的健康和福祉。大的地板到地板的窗户和狭窄的建筑地板提供优秀的天然照明深入到建筑物的内部。模型显示，用户只需在一年内使用建筑物的电灯42天。第二层天窗提供额外的自然光，而外部水平和垂直铝阴影减少热量和减轻眩光。

The interior of the Sustainability Base actively supports the health and well-being of all occupants. Large floor to floor windows and narrow building floor plates provide excellent natural lighting deep into the interior of the building. Modeling suggests users will only need to use the building’s electrical lighting 42 days out of the year. Second floor skylights provide additional natural light, while exterior horizontal and vertical aluminum shades reduce heat gain and mitigate glare.

具有高性能玻璃的超绝缘外部金属面板系统为冷却湾地区的早晨提供了一个紧密的、温暖的外壳。当室内变得过于温暖，可操作的窗户由用户和大厦管理系统控制，创造温和的交叉通风。局部加热或冷却由辐射板提供，允许更长时间的自然通风。

Super insulated exterior metal panel system with high performance glazing provides a tight, warm envelope for cool Bay Area mornings. When the interior gets too warm, operable windows controlled by users and building management systems create gentle cross-ventilation. Localized heating or cooling is provided by radiant panels, allowing for longer periods of natural ventilation.

整个开放区域都有一个提升的接入层，允许用户和系统的灵活性，并连接到一个专用的室外空气系统，以便在建筑物的窗户关闭时提供新鲜的空气分配。

A raised access floor throughout the open area allows for user and system flexibility, and is connected to a dedicated outdoor air system to provide fresh air distribution when the building’s windows are closed.

在外部，一个智能景观，设计使用耐旱和加州本土植物，结合生物保留污水提供雨水储存和过滤。所有滴灌系统都有净化的地下水。此外，室外工作空间和会议区域与无线数据通信为员工提供了一系列的环境。

On the exterior, an intelligent landscape, designed using drought tolerant and California native plants, incorporates bioretention swales provide storm water storage and filtration. All of drip irrigation system is provided with cleansed groundwater. And, outdoor workspaces and meeting areas with wireless data communications offers a range of environments for employees.

通过两种方法实施了严格的可持续性基础材料选择协议。首先，从摇篮到摇篮认证CM产品使用时，成本效益，并可通过竞争性招标过程。当认证产品无法实现时，其他产品将使用MBDC内部评估，以确定其从摇篮到摇篮的潜力，使用可公开访问的制造商信息(如材料安全数据表)。在人类和生态性能的相对尺度上，对类似材料类的产品进行了比较。战略包括：

A rigorous materials selection protocol for Sustainability Base was implemented through two approaches. First, Cradle to Cradle CertifiedCM products were used when available, cost effective, and achievable through a competitive tender process. When certified products could not be implemented, other products were internally evaluated with MBDC for their Cradle to Cradle® potential, using publicly accessible manufacturer information (such as Material Safety Data Sheets). Products in a similar material class were compared on a relative scale of human and ecological performance. Strategies included:

材料使用方面的考虑包括使用外支撑框架以减少建筑中的钢(按重量计)的数量。轻质绝缘金属面板覆层也减少了建造所需材料的数量。

Material use considerations included utilizing an external braced frame to reduce the amount of steel (by weight) in the building. The lightweight insulated metal panel cladding also reduced the amount of material required for construction.

对物质健康的关注导致了一种规范过程，该过程有利于人类健康、生态健康的材料，并且是为技术和/或生物循环设计的。当由于性能要求而无法获得这些材料时，将对剩余材料进行评估，以确定其对生物圈的明显风险。

Material health concerns resulted in a specification process that favored materials that were beneficial to human health, ecological health, and were designed for technical and/or biological cycles. When these materials were not available due to performance requirements, remaining materials were evaluated for obvious risks to the biosphere.

材料含量方面的考虑因素包括可回收/回收材料、打捞材料、当地可得和(或)快速可再生材料和经认证的木材。该设计的主要部件(混凝土、钢、玻璃、铝)具有高的回收含量，并可在区域内使用，从而减少了运输能源。

Material content considerations included recyclable/recycled materials, salvaged materials, locally available and/or rapidly renewable materials and certified wood. The main components of the design (concrete, steel, glass, aluminum) had high recycled content and were regionally available, thereby reducing transportation energy.
