Chilled Beams & Blue Water: Innovative Sustainability Technology on Southern Campuses

At Emory University a new residence hall (LEED Gold) uses grey water, but local officials have demanded that it be dyed blue (and circulate in blue pipes), while at Furman University, a major renovation of the Charles H. Townes Center for Science (LEED Silver, maybe Gold) uses European-originated "chilled beam" technology to overcome short floor-to-floor heights. Isn't it great how striving for sustainability brings about innovative technologies? More details from the Buildings & Grounds Blog.
