Miron Construction
The new Maplewood School is the largest zero-net energy middle/intermediate school in the country. Sustainability is at the heart of the design. The all-electric, zero-net energy facility is expected to exceed ASHRAE 90.1-2013 standards by 45% and aims to meet or surpass LEED BD+C: Schools v4.1 certification.
The building features 160 geothermal wells, a 1.14-megawatt rooftop solar array with 2,747 panels, and independent classroom zoning for optimal thermal comfort. These systems not only reduce environmental impact but also serve as hands-on educational tools. With abundant daylight, advanced ventilation and strong connections to nature, the school promotes health, well-being and environmental stewardship.

The Wisconsin Association of Energy Engineers (WAEE) invites you to join us at the Milwaukee Public Library's Martin Luther King Branch.
July 22, 2026
Milwaukee Public Library
Darcy Solutions and The Glacier Group
The new 17,400-square-foot Martin Luther King Branch is an $11 million investment supported by $6 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, the city’s ARPA-backed Housing Trust Fund, Tax Incremental Funding (TIF) support, private grants, and other grants and loans. This branch is part of a mixed-use development that includes a 42-unit apartment complex—strengthening the King Drive corridor and anchoring neighborhood revitalization.
Attendees will learn about the geothermal heating and cooling, rooftop solar panels, green roof, and infrastructure for EV charging stations, making this the greenest library in Southeast Wisconsin. The geothermal well was built in the parking areas at the back of the parcel and only took the space equivalent of a half a parking spot. The project demonstrates how compact aquifer technology can be integrated into urban public infrastructure.
12:45 - City of Milwaukee Introduction
1:00 - Technical presentations by Darcy Solutions and The Glacier Group
The WAEE board will be held at the MLK Library at 10:30am. Anyone interested in learning more about our chapter or getting more involved is welcome to attend. The board is comprised of energy industry professionals who volunteer their time to promote education and awareness in the energy industry.
The Wisconsin Association of Energy Engineers (WAEE) invites you to join us at the Sun Prairie Utilities Municipal Garage.
August 26, 2026
Meeting host and Lunch provider:
Sun Prairie Utilities
You’re invited to learn more about the future of sustainable municipal infrastructure at the Sun Prairie Utilities Municipal Garage. Sun Prairie Utilities (SPU) is a community-owned, locally controlled utility that provides electric and water services to the residents and businesses of Sun Prairie.
Attendees will learn how the Geothermal HVAC system is used to heat and cool the building; as well as how the 435 kW rooftop solar array works in tandem with the facility's All-Electric Design to generate over 70% of the building's power on-site.
In the office and warehouse areas, Smart Lighting with occupancy sensors, high-efficiency windows and detailed real-time monitoring work together to maintain comfort while minimizing energy waste. Finally, attendees will learn how their EV Infrastructure supports the transition to cleaner transportation with Level 2 charging stations available for public and fleet use.
