One of the first NetZero energy projects in Maryland, the first public safety NetZero facility in the state and one of the first public safety NetZero facilities in the country, the project is designed to achieve NetZero energy performance by utilizing microgrid technology and converting sunlight into electricity via photovoltaic power generation. The building systems are fully electrified in keeping with Montgomery County's carbon-neutral goals. The building was designed and will be delivered under the International Green Construction Code (IgCC 2018) requirements.

The Micro Grid project is being delivered in partnership with the Montgomery County Department of General Services’ (DGS) Division of Energy and Sustainability, in partnership with GreenStruxture.
