Onward to Zero Emissions – part 2

We’re going to keep documenting the efforts of the zero emissions office building design team on this blog. You’ll find out along with the team whether they can meet their ambitious goal of creating a zero emissions design for a typical St. Louis office building.

Yesterday a group of HOK designers from St. Louis, Chicago and Toronto converged in Minneapolis to meet with our project partners from The Weidt Group, who are providing energy and daylight modeling for the effort. It was an amazing, eye-opening day, and we’ll have a full report next week.

Until then, here’s HOK Sustainable Design Practice Leader Tim Gaidis doing a couple of “Before” and “After” stand-ups at the airport in Minneapolis.

If this architecture thing doesn’t work out, then “One-Take Tim” may have a future as a TV news reporter.
