SALT LAKE CITY — The skeleton of Salt Lake City's new Public Safety Building has reached its full height and now, as builders put flesh on its bones, the structure could become a national model for how to use and generate energy.
"The goal is for the building to produce as much energy as it uses," said lead designer David Brems of GSBS Architects. If that goal is achieved, it would be Utah's first "net zero" building, a designation claimed by only a handful of structures across the country.
