Madison (Wis.) Public Library, Goodman South Madison Branch

Green Facilities: Under-floor radiant heating at the Goodman South Branch helps the library to save 30% on utility costs relative to other similar-sized libraries in the system. Occupancy sensors and daylighting controls automatically adjust artificial lights based on conditions, and every public space has large glass windows that allow daylight in and offer views of the neighborhood. More than 75% of construction waste was diverted from the landfill.
