匹兹堡大学BioForge大楼获LEED铂金认证：437千瓦屋 顶光伏可供52户家庭年用电
位于宾夕法尼亚州阿勒格尼县的 Pittsburgh 市，匹兹堡大学10月20日宣布，其BioForge生物制造创新大楼已获得美国绿色建筑委员会LEED铂金认证，这是该评级体系的最高等级，认证范围为建筑核心与外壳。这座18.5万平方英尺的设施位于黑泽尔伍德绿色地块，是精准药物制造突破的创新平台，锚定租户为ElevateBio。
黑泽尔伍德绿色地块本身已获社区开发LEED铂金认证，这片178英亩土地曾是匹兹堡最后一座运营钢厂所在地，如今被改造为可持续、包容性城市增长的样板。BioForge大楼的屋顶光伏阵列功率达437千瓦，年发电量可满足52户家庭用电；全面入驻后，大楼用水量将比同规模普通建筑少35%；建筑周边原生植物种植面积超过6000平方英尺，入口花园全部采用本地物种并支持传粉昆虫。
校长琼·加贝尔表示，该认证证明把未来愿景与可持续理念结合建设是可行的。
Pitt's BioForge Building Earns LEED Platinum: 437 kW Rooftop Solar, 35 Percent Less Water
In Pittsburgh, a city in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, the University of Pittsburgh's BioForge building has earned LEED Platinum certification for core and shell from the U.S. Green Building Council, the highest level in the rating system, Pittwire reported October 20.
The 185,000-square-foot biomanufacturing facility stands at Hazelwood Green, the 178-acre former site of Pittsburgh's last operating steel mill, itself a LEED Platinum neighborhood development. ElevateBio is the anchor tenant.
Chancellor Joan Gabel said the certification reflects the university's sustainability commitments. The building's 437-kilowatt rooftop solar array generates about as much electricity as 52 homes use in a year; more than 6,000 square feet of native plantings support the landscape, and once fully occupied the building will use 35 percent less water than comparable facilities.
An indoor bicycle room with showers and drying facilities supports low-carbon commuting.
