KPF: Electrification at Columbia Biomedical Research Building

The Columbia University Biomedical Research Building is the first purpose-built, all-electric academic research lab building in New York City. Faced with the task of electrifying a complex facility with a small footprint, architects and environmental designers at KPF used innovative methods to achieve net-zero performance for the building. By addressing the building as a holistic system instead of its individual components, occupant comfort and carbon emissions can be managed more efficiently.
