GE's John F. Welch Leadership Development Center
Ossining, New York
Project Frog’s latest building will serve as the key social hub of a 50-acre corporate learning center on the banks of New York’s majestic Hudson River, just 40 miles north of Manhattan at GE’s John F. Welch Leadership Development Center. Construction of the 4,000 square foot LEED Gold building is part of a broader venture that is aimed at rethinking Crotonville to support 21st century learning by embedding new attributes to the curriculum, redesigning facilities and empowering participants to own their own learning experience. Serving as an educational tool for the company’s 10,000 leaders who visit to the campus each year, the new facility will showcase the world’s best-in-class, energy efficient building products, systems and technologies. Installation is expected to be complete in under 4 months.

Hawaii Natural Energy Institute: Energy Performance Test Platforms
Hawaiian Islands: Kauai
The Hawaiian Islands present a unique opportunity to test energy generation and building performance due to the diversity of climates contained in this tropical environment. Project Frog is working closely with Hawaii Natural Energy Institute (HNEI) to deploy a series of buildings for research of energy efficiency and sustainability of Frog structures throughout the Islands. The assignment involves an experimental evaluation of a state-of-the-art energy neutral test platform at several climatically different locations. The structural system and building envelope characteristics will be identical and tested for their performance across the two different environments. In addition, different alternative energy generation technologies will be used to evaluate their performance in the Pacific Region. Next installation is at Kawaikini New Century Public Charter School in Lihu'e on the island of Kauai.
