Ellen Mitchell-Kozack, Director of Sustainability & Citizen HKS Principal at HKS Architects presented on the “ROCing Results” Panel where she focused on HKS’s environmental efforts.

Presentation Summary:

Buildings generate 40% of all the greenhouse gas emissions in the US. Since humans now spend a large portion of our lives indoors, architects have more responsibility to public health than doctors. HKS believes that tackling sustainability requires looking at environmental, health, and social issues. An example of HKS’s work includes the Kachumbala Maternity Unit in Uganda, which has achieved a 96% reduction in predicted energy use and supplies 51% of their power needs from on-site renewables. The maternity now has a 9.77 out of 10 patient satisfaction rating, and a 29% increase in the number of deliveries. This is just one of many examples of how HKS designs and buildings support the environment, public health, and communities.
