Notes:

Low resolution digital file, ~655 KB; The high-tech plant in this facility is powered by five 200-kilowatt natural gas phosphoric acid fuel cells, the nation's largest commercial fuel cell system. Not only do the fuel cells provide enough electricity to power the entire facility, they also create enough waste heat to meet most of the building's thermal load, thereby further reducing overall energy consumption.
