Sustainable Building with Renewable Energy Withstands Extreme Weather Case Study: Princess Elisabeth Research Station The Project The Princess Elisabeth is the first ever research station to be constructed in the Antarctic, entirely sustainable by running on renewable energy. The station was designed at conception to be highly energy-efficient incorporating an energy control system, the use of energy efficient-appliances and sound insulation techniques. Wind turbines and solar panels provide the station’s energy source. The International Polar Foundation (IPF) and its technical partners have taken a pioneering step forward in the domain of sustainable development and in doing so, will prove C A S E S T U D Y | Antarctica Dow Performance Silicones High Performance B
