One of R+C’s earliest LEED-accredited professionals, Alan leads R+C’s sustainable design practice. He co-authored SEAONC’s Structural Engineering Strategies Towards Sustainable Design and the ASCE/SEI’s Guidelines to Sustainable Design. One of his projects, UC San Diego’s Supercomputer Center expansion, exceeds Title 24 by 46 percent. This is a result of intense collaboration with the design team to maximize passive energy savings through the use of features such as thermal mass in the exposed concrete structure and building configuration to maximize natural light.
