"Another recurring theme in how solar power is increasingly being incorporated into design is a sense of social and environmental responsibility—a perspective available to only a relatively privileged few—rather than an overarching concern for the bottom line. This ethos is prevalent in the homes in and around Aspen designed by CCY as well as larger-scale structures like the 62,000-square-foot home of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in Washington, D.C. This circa-1994 building is currently being renovated by Hickok Cole Architects—with the goal of transforming it into a net-zero structure, one of only a few dozen in the country—by the spring of 2018."
