− California Academy of Science 2002 – 2005
CA Academy of Sciences has totally rebuilt its facilities. The new building was completed in 2007. Provided long-term strategic advice to the project team to help champion the green design elements and obtain a LEED Platinum certification.
− High Performance Data Centers 2003
Organized and led a multi-faceted charrette with a broad representation of industry, utility and government experts, that explored equipment efficiencies, DC bus power systems, greening of buildings, power reliability and quality, thermal management, economics and project financing, Internet-based energy management systems, distributed generation/enabling equipment technologies, and power parks.
– Texas Instruments RFAB 2004
Participated in design charrette that resulted in 30% reduction ($180 million) in construction cost, 20% energy savings (~34,000 mWh/yr), 35% reduction (~1 million gallons/day) in water usage, 50% emissions reduction, and LEED Gold certification. The savings enabled Ti to build the FAB in Richardson, near Dallas, TX, instead of in Asia. The green initiatives are being continued in ensuing projects.
− CARMAX Corporate Headquarters 2002 – 2006
Carmax carefully inserted their new corporate headquarters into the woods near Richmond VA. Led a team that provided extensive green building consulting and peer reviews throughout all of the project phases. The completed building has received a LEED Silver rating.
− North Clackamas High School 1996 – 2000
Worked through issues and strategies related to an experiment in financially rewarding the design team for energy saving design for new high school, and assisted the design team to develop a variety of green strategies for the project.
− Greening the California State Capitol 2001
Organized and led a sustainability charrette focused on reducing the environmental impacts of the Capitol buildings, supported by various State agencies and the Sacramento Municipal Utility. Addressed energy-saving design and engineering, waste reduction, water conservation, indoor air quality, community interaction, education, and operational practices.
− Boston Convention Center 1999
Organized and led a charrette with the Authority and their design team that looked at capturing energy and environmental performance opportunities. As a result, the design was modified to produce a daylit building with an innovative approach to stormwater and a 2-megawatt photovoltaic system on the roof.
− Bulmers 2001
Organized and led a major, four-day Charrette to redesign the company, including ideas for changing orchard practice to organic polyculture, a co-production web of cider and other products, new concepts for efficiency in processing, packaging and marketing, and changes in the basic business model including reinvestment in natural and social capital. Also explored ideas for making Herefordshire a model, vital, sustainable rural-biased community.
− Greening Schools in Curitiba, Brazil 2000 – 2004
Collaborated with architects at IPPUC, the city planning and public works agency, to reduce energy consumption in prototypical elementary schools by 75% while improving visual and thermal comfort, and occupant performance. IPPUC expects to use these design improvements on all future schools, and to retrofit existing schools.
− University of Illinois UC Facilities Standards Review 2002
Broad environmental review of the university’s facilities standards, and recommendations for sustainable designs for the campus.
− DestiNYusa Inc. 2002
This new mixed-use development on a 64 acre EPA “Superfund” brownfield site in Syracuse, NY, will include a shopping mall, several hotels, an aquarium, a variety of entertainment facilities, and housing. It will be the largest facility of its type in the world. The innovative developer’s ambitious but real goal is to operate this enormous facility as a zero-carbon development. Assisted in organizing and running two conceptual planning charrettes to investigate the zero-carbon aspects, and establish goals and guidelines for restoration of the site and design of the project.
− Boston Museum of Science 2005
The Museum is currently undertaking an approximately $80 million renovation of its existing facilities as part of an ambitious effort to enhance programs and exhibits, create a new focus on technology, and generally improve operations. Organized and led a charrette with the Museum and their design team that looked at a wide variety of opportunities.
− California EPA Building, 1998
New 1 million square foot building in Sacramento for the State of California Environmental Protection Agency and Integrated Waste Management Board. Organized and managed a greening process in collaboration with the State's and the project developer’s project teams, and other agencies and consultants. Work included base case review, opportunities identification charrette and report, financial analysis, and implementation strategies.
− Lecturer at Peking University 2002
Lectured in Green Building for one month as part of a semester-long RMI course on Natural Capitalism at the invitation of the Dean of the College of Environmental Sciences. |
