Can confirm, I visited RMI in the early 2000s.

The entire structure is built with the climate and site in mind. Large south-facing windows, thermal mass in the floor and walls. At the time, the major energy draw was laserprinters, given that the xerographic process used relies on a heating element kept at about 400F. Switching to inkjet printers was a major energy gain (though ink costs might make this a financial wash).
