    Meet PCC's LEED green buildings! The Newberg Center is designed to be Net Zero, meaning it produces as much energy as it uses. The building has a 75 kw rooftop solar array and 25 kw that serves as the overhang for the exterior entrance. This part of the array features bifacial modules, which produce electricity both from the sun and light reflected from the light colored pavement underneath.
