摘要

FORT MYER, VA. - The new 83,750-sq.ft. military barracks, Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, located here, and adjacent to Arlington National Park, opened in July and represents a model of energy efficiency. Energy use at this facility is being reduced by 30% as compared to similar barracks built recently. The three-story barracks Building 421 will accommodate 216 U.S. military personnel in 108 shared two-person dwelling suites. The barracks use a variety of energy-efficient technologies to reduce the use of fossil fuels and the production of greenhouse gases.
