The publication is an application manual that provides case studies and recommendations to members of the industry who are seeking ways to achieve greater levels of energy savings in commercial facilities. The featured case study is the Twin Lakes Park Office Complex, a Sarasota County government project designed by Michael Carlson, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP. The feature article highlights Twin Lake's innovative and creative use of daylighting combined with daylight sensors, a cistern that allows the facility to reuse stored rainwater in plumbing and irrigation applications, as well as the building's advanced geothermal air-conditioning and heat exchange system and photovoltaic system that converts sunlight to electricity. Carlson estimated that by incorporating a combination of sustainable features, the complex will realize annual electrical savings of 45% and water savings of 58% compared to a conventionally-constructed commercial building of similar size and type. Norman Koonce, FAIA, AIA Executive Vice President/CEO said of Carlson's project, "Thank you for contributing to this important energy saving initiative and, through sharing your work, expanding the knowledge among our members and colleagues in related disciplines". ## CELEBRATING SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH DESIGN Welcome to the Carlson Studio Architecture blog -
