1,050 metric tons

CO₂ Reduction Annually

Catawba College's solar panels reduce 1,050 metric tons of CO₂ annually, equivalent to removing 193 vehicles from the road.

Pioneered the first Zero Energy school in the U.S. (Richardsville Elementary, 2010), first WELL-certified & Zero Carbon school (John Lewis Elementary BCPS, 2021), first Zero Carbon Behavioral Health Hospital (Brockton BHC, 2022), and first Carbon-Positive hotel design (Populus Hotel).
Zero Energy design philosophy: achieve drastic energy reduction first, then add renewables to minimize system size and optimize investment.
Led multiple net-zero school projects in VA and DC, achieving EUIs under 20 via solar arrays, geothermal HVAC, all-electric systems, and real-time energy dashboards.
Supported Catawba College in achieving carbon neutrality in April 2023—seven years ahead of its 2030 target—through on-site renewable energy, efficiency upgrades, geothermal systems, electrification, and offsets.
Catawba’s solar panels generate ~7 million kWh annually, saving ~$5 million over 20 years.
