Salt Lake City— Most buildings use twice as much energy as automobiles, so in their continuing efforts to create superior facilities, GSBS Architects has hired Curtis Clark, a former State Energy Manager for the Utah Department of Administrative Services and founding member of Utah’s chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council.
“Our firm is thrilled to have Curtis join our team, and we are pleased with our increased ability to add an additional value to our clients through his unique set of abilities and years of experience,” said Mike Stransky, president of GSBS. “We are especially excited that as we move forward with several new projects, we’ll be able to put Curtis’s talents to work in helping our clients reach their energy efficiency and environmental goals.”
As the principal author of Utah’s High Performance Building Rating System, Curtis has the insights to proven sustainable design, and the ability to make recommendations that will ensure each project leaves the smallest possible carbon footprint.
“I admire GSBS for taking such a big leap forward in the global effort to reduce the negative environmental impacts of buildings,” Curtis said. “It’s one thing to just hire an energy consultant to tell you you’re using too much energy—at GSBS, we’ll tell you where you’re overbudget on energy, and will help you find creative ways to make the proper changes, without destroying the aesthetics of your project.”
Curtis has additional experience in conducting energy modeling and finding ways to improve the efficiency of the building and the health of its occupants. He has a proven track record of helping clients make significant changes in the way their buildings operate, resulting in significant financial savings.
