Sustainability Consulting Role: Created climate-responsive design strategies for subtropical urban development, addressing hurricane resilience, cooling load optimization, and water management. Developed innovative solutions for mixed-use programming and community integration through 400+ design simulations. Performed LEED consultancy services to achieve LEED Gold. (Work performed while at Thornton Tomasetti)

Climate-Positive Solutions Delivered:

• Hurricane-resilient design exceeding Category 5 hurricane building codes

• Optimized tower orientation and façade through 400+ cooling simulations

• Self-shading floorplates and ventilated terraces reducing cooling loads by 50%

• Comprehensive stormwater management with green roofs and podium gardens

• Mixed-use programming reducing transportation needs

• Elevated podium design with flood-resistant mechanical systems

Performance Outcomes:

• LEED Gold certification achieved

• 30% total energy savings with 50% cooling load reduction through passive design

• Regional LEED credits for 15°F heat-island temperature reduction

• Zero flood damage risk up to 500-year flood level

• Enhanced community resilience demonstrated during Hurricane Ian (2022)

• World's first WELL-certified neighborhood designation
