Framework for a “Living City Block” Urban ReVision
Principal in Charge Sustainability Consultant Complete renovation of the “twin towers” to meet the worlds highest sustainable design standards. Rocky Mountain Institute provided energy modeling, daylighting design, lighting design, material consulting and LEED advisor and reviewer support. Project will achieve the highest ratings with LEED, BREEAM, and the new German Green Building Standard (DGNB). These “green towers” will achieve over 55% carbon reduction (from prior usage), 50% energy savings, 67% heating savings, 98% demolition material recycled, and 74% water savings amongst many other sustainability metrics (fact sheet). Scheduled for completion in late 2010.

Principal in Charge Healthy Building Consultant
Oversaw the design and construction teams to help implement an aggressive healthy building/LEED and sustainability program for a new cancer center in northern Minnesota. SMDC is the first health care organization in Minnesota — and among the first 10 in the United States — to certify their 250,000 square foot clinic using the LEED Green Building Rating System, a nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance, healthy buildings. Our holistic approach to healthy building design included a view that healthy IEQ = healthy patients. To that end, the design construction process included avoiding the use of PVC, no/low-VOC and no-formaldehyde materials and finishes, high-efficiency air filtration, and superior daylighting and views for patients and staff.
