架构师提供的文本描述。研究支助设施(RSF)是DOE和NREL非常重要的建筑。它展示了高性能建筑在美学上是多么引人注目，如何以具有竞争力的第一成本和生命周期成本获得，以及通过综合设计，高性能建筑如何减少业主和构造者的性能风险。RSF的设计不仅符合美国绿色建筑委员会定义的LEED白金评级，它还被确定为第一座此类的零能源建筑(Zeb)。这座建筑是可持续的高性能设计的展示.它展示了高性能设计特征和实践的集成，展示了技术进步，并抓住了公众对可再生和节能技术的想象力。

Text description provided by the architects. The Research Support Facility (RSF) is a very significant building for DOE and NREL. It is a showcase of how high-performance buildings can be aesthetically compelling, acquired at a competitive first-cost and lifecycle cost, and through integrated design, how high-performance buildings can reduce performance risks to the Owner and constructor. Not only is the RSF designed to meet the LEED Platinum rating as defined by the US Green Buildings Council, it is slated to be the first Zero Energy Building (ZEB) of its kind. The building is a showcase of sustainable high-performance design. It demonstrates the integration of high performance design features and practices, showcases technology advances, and captures the public’s imagination for renewable and energy efficient technologies.
