Living Building Challenge: Energy | How the TR Presidential Library Powers Itself

What would it take for a presidential library to power itself?

The Energy Petal of the Living Building Challenge requires buildings to generate more energy than they consume using renewable sources.

The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library combines highly efficient design with renewable energy systems including solar power and geothermal wells. Super-insulated walls, advanced glazing, and smart lighting systems reduce energy demand before renewable generation takes over.

The result is a building designed to produce 105% of its energy on site, setting a new standard for sustainable cultural institutions.
