Our December meeting will give everyone a chance to see the real thing in actual use! Solar electricity. Rainwater capture. Energy efficient lighting and air conditioning. Ground-source heat pumps. All this and more! The Botanical Research Institute facilites are the first "LEED Platinum" building in Tarrant County, and one of just a few in the entire state.
