The National Institute of Standards and Technology will spend millions on a new project that could save big bucks in the long run – and make it a little greener.

NIST is adding solar panels to power part of its Gaithersburg, Md., campus.

Hunter Fanney leads the NIST Building Environment Division. He explains why NIST is moving ahead with the project, even as money is tight.
