The New Jersey construction firm of Ferreira Construction, became a front-runner in energy-efficient commercial space, when their new net-zero energy headquarter, located in Branchburg, NJ opened in 2006. Ferreira Construction's primary field is the construction of heavy highways, road and bridges.
The 223 kW grid-tied photovoltaic system, consisting of 1,276, 175-watt solar panels provides the entire 41,508 square ft. building with sufficient energy, so effective that the PV system has met 100% of the building's electrical needs since its opening in 2006. According to the company's President Nelson Ferreira, the project was feasible thanks to incentives provided through the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities and New Jersey's Clean Energy Program.
