MCGOWAN BROZ PRINCIPAL GAINS SUSTAINABLE DESIGN CERTIFICATION
Bill Broz, P.E., Manager of Mechanical Engineering at McGowan Broz Engineers recently earned his certification as a LEED^TM Accredited Professional. Certification under the LEED^TM (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) program signifies expertise in all aspects of sustainable design, and is awarded by the U. S. Green Building Council.

"This certification is one part of our long-term strategy to exercise leadership in forwarding the goals of sustainable design within our community," Broz remarked. "Environmentally friendly, or ‘Green’ design has been integral to our firm’s mission from the beginning, but the impetus for sustainability has picked up a lot of momentum over the last two years or so. As a result, we have become much more systematic in our collaboration with architects and owners to produce sustainable design projects, including those certified through the LEED program."

Bellevue-based McGowan Broz Engineers, a 20-person mechanical and electrical engineering firm, has several projects currently slated for LEED^TM certification, including the new Capitol Hill Library for Seattle Public Libraries; the Terminal Radar Approach Control Facility (TRACON) for the Federal Aviation Administration; and the International District Village Square Phase 2 mixed-use development.
