In spring of 2011, I wrote a piece for High Performance Buildings on Hoffman’s work with the Benedictine Sisters at Holy Wisdom Monastery in Middleton, WI. This LEED Platinum-NC facility was completed in 2009 and is setup to eventually achieve Net-Zero after adding additional solar PV over the years. It is a great example of how sustainable design can be applied over time, piece by piece until milestones are reached.
