这是由Centerbrook事务所设计的一座发电厂，燃烧可持续的木材做燃料，为附近的Hotchkiss学校供暖及发电。Hotchkiss学校建造这座发电厂是为了到2020年达到碳中和的目标。该建筑的外观设计融合了看似水火不容的两个“使命”：一方面它需要竭力召唤游客的光临，同时另一方面，它又不能使建筑周边的环境遭到破坏，在不远处是一所校园。这座建筑位于缓坡底端，一边是树林和湿地，另一面是高尔夫球场，整体呈低缓起伏状。这栋占地1532平方米建筑的屋顶上铺有跟周边植物同色的植被，以便未来更好地与环境相适应。该建筑因其环保特性获得了美国LEED绿色建筑认证。该建筑是一个可更新的分层木结构系统，拥有一套节水的洗浴设备，材质为产自当地的可回收物质，内部日光充足，无论是灯光，外表材料还是内在装置都是高效节能的。

It houses gritty infrastructure: a biomass facility that burns sustainably harvested woodchips to heat the Hotchkiss School. The biomass facility is an integral part of the school’s commitment to becoming a carbon-neutral campus by 2020. The exterior design embodies seemingly contradictory missions: creating an arresting presence to beckon visitors， while simultaneously not upstaging the building’s pristine environs at the periphery of an independent school’s campus. Sited at the bottom of a sloping landscape， between woods and wetlands on one side and a golf course on the other， the building presents a low and undulating profile. The 16，500-square-foot structure is capped by a vegetated roof that is the color of surrounding flora， helping it harmonize further with the landscape. The building is slated for LEED certification for conservation features that include a renewable， laminated wood structural system; water-conserving plumbing fixtures; use of local materials with a high recycled content; an abundance of daylight inside; and highly efficient mechanical systems， lighting， and exterior skin.
