Foundation Communities to open first commercial net zero-energy building in Austin

Foundation Communities has been providing low-income housing to Austin residents for 25 years, and in May it will also operate the city’s first commercial net zero-energy building. The building, the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation Learning Center, is located on the site of the nonprofit’s newest community, Lakeline Station Apartments, which opened in December at 13635 Rutledge Spur, Austin, off RM 620 in Northwest Austin. “[The center] will produce at least as much energy as it consumes on a yearly basis,” said Sunshine Mathon, the design and development director for Foundation Communities.
