In this Oct. 14, 2009 photo, Philip A. Macey, senior associate of RNL Design of Denver, stands near his design, the Research Support Facilities Project for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colo. Homes and office buildings consume three-quarters of U.S. electricity, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory wants to lower that figure by erecting what it believes will be the largest "net-zero" energy building in the world, one that produces as much power onsite as it uses. The Department of Energy, which runs the Golden-based lab nestled in the foothills west of Denver, and its contractors hope the $64 million structure will provide a national blueprint for making buildings greener and cutting energy use.
