Foster Student Innovation Center at the University of Maine, Orono, Maine

Designed by Oak Point, the LEED-registered Foster Student Innovation Center was created as an incubator for knowledge-based business ventures that will lead to the creation of new Maine-based industries. Oak Point’s goal was to provide a stimulating environment that fosters innovation and creativity within a solution that encompasses a vision for the future through adaptability and green design.

Colin Powell Middle School follows LEED green building guidelines

The 122,000 square foot Colin Powell Middle School follows LEED green building guidelines. High-performance technologies include a daylight harvesting system, pond-based geothermal system, and passive security system. Visitors approaching the school at the main entry can see through several building “layers” to the 3-acre pond at the back of the facility.

Advanced Data Centers Introduces Industry’s First LEED Platinum Pre-Certified Data Center

The McClellan Park facility, located in Sacramento, California, is the industry’s first and only LEED Platinum pre-certified data center. The Leadership in Energy and Environmental... 

SUN HoM Solar System

SUN HoM DHW is a solar hot water system appropriate for any climate, lending itself particularly well to retrofit situations. The active-indirect, drainback system uses a propylene glycol mixture (or plain water in non-freezing climates) in the collector panels and transfers the heat from that fluid to the domestic water system using a heat exchanger.

SunChiller Solar Absorption Cooling

SunChiller combines evacuated-tube solar thermal technology with absorption chilling to economize the environmental and financial conditioning energy costs for facilities with exceptional cooling loads. During peak demand hours, the hybrid system uses SunChiller as the primary chiller, with electric as backup.

SunMate Hot Air Solar Panel

The SunMate mounts vertically on the side of a home or building; it circulates cool room air through a solar absorber plate, and then sends it back inside, warmed. A thermostat turns on a small, 7-watt circulating fan in the system when the absorber plate heats up to 110 degrees Fahrenheit, and turns it back off again when that temperature gets down to 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

GridPoint Connect

The Connect Series provides everything but the solar panels for a grid-connected photovoltaic backup power system. Electronics, inverter, charge controller, recyclable batteries, and other components are combined in a single “plug-and-play” unit that makes sure the batteries are always fully charged and supplying electricity.

Solarban 70XL Glazing

Solarban’s color-neutral, commercial solar-control glass has a 2.33 Light to Solar Gain (LSG) ratio in a one-inch insulating unit; windows look like glass rather than mirrors, letting in lots of light while controlling solar heat gain better than most low-e solar-control glazing units.

SoLed Solar-Powered LED Outdoor Luminaires

SolarOne Lighting offers Dark-Sky-compliant, photovoltaic-powered, lamppost-style outdoor lighting for walkways, parks, parking lots, and shelters. Trenchless installation, vandal-resistant design, remote-controlled light level and timing programs, 50,000-hour LED lamp reliability, and a 20-year solar panel warranty all add up to installation and maintenance savings—on top of zero power costs.

UniRac Solar Panel Mounting Systems

UniRac provides PV mounting solutions for nearly any configuration—from a few panels on a house roof, to building-integrated photovoltaic facades on commercial buildings, to several acre arrays for utility power production.
