Delaware Tech – Sustainable Energy
The new Sustainable Energy Training Center (SETC) at Delaware Technical Community College in Newark, Delaware is a 6,000 square foot addition (G-Wing) that connects to the Automotive (F-Wing) building at Stanton Campus. The SETC was designed to be energy efficient and achieved USGBC LEED Gold certification. There are many green design aspects for the building including eco-bond pavers which meet LEED refractive requirements, stormwater BMP green technologies such as rooftop rain harvesting from a roof leader and stormwater bioretention basin and filter strip. A large portion of the building is within a paved parking lot, and recycled materials were used for new pavement.
