The exterior uses Insulated Concrete Forms, with limestone veneer and hand hewn cedar posts. The water is harvested from the standing seam metal roof to two 20,000 gallon tanks; a purification system on the septic provides additional water for flushing and landscape drip irrigation. Also, water is recaptured from condensation from HVAC units. The building is powered by a 4000 kW photovoltaic array and reverse meter to CPS. This site has a wild life tax exemption so care will be taken to preserve existing large growth trees and bird nesting areas.

San Antonio Independent School District-
Construction Administration- Supervision of Construction Administration for Team Leader 1997
Bexar County Jail Annex Expansion San Antonio, Texas- 46 Million Dollars-
Lead Designer- As the head designer I believe that air and light are the major requirements for a successful design for a jail. The client Bexar County had a desire for green sustainable solutions. Therefore, large exercise areas were built for massing, plenty of daylighting and air. In the 60 foot long second floor clerestory Low-E glass with high visibility was used. The steel plates that hold the steel jail bars also deflect harsh light. My previous research of Sun Trapper's large scale solar systems lead to the County doing a very large "Thermal Collector "on the jail roof with a 30,000 gallon capacity. This provides hot water for the jail kitchen, laundry and inmate showers.
W TUCSON, ARIZONA-
Roy R. Drachman Institute for Land & Regional Development- I was employed to study and Urban Plan Tucson's blight problem along a major corridor into downtown. In the historic adobe neighborhood I did planning for flooding problems. I designed a green belt for this neighborhood that created green drainage ditches and a vegetated tree lined pedestrian walks. This green belt has since been built.
