Case Study

At the American Indian Hall, OnSite Energy installed a 67.76 kW solar photovoltaic system as part of the building’s high-performance energy strategy. This solar array works alongside geothermal heating and cooling and other sustainable features to reduce reliance on conventional energy sources and support MSU’s operational efficiency goals. The building’s LEED Platinum Version 4.1 certification — the first of its kind in Montana — underscores a broader commitment to sustainability, resource conservation, and long-term value for students and the campus community.
