- Metal insulated building with heated floor. - Wadena MN - With RCM - M&E Engineering: Emanuelson Podas
- Using under-floor hot water heat we were able to keep a consistent temperature, making it possible to heat with off-peak electric with the following results: 1. Comfort, especially when the hangar door is open for a short time. 2. HVAC requirements were very low. - With RCM - M&E Engineering: Emanuelson Podas
- This building was built to house a national insurance company. - Operable wood windows were used. - Gaughen Lathrop Building - Camp Hill PA
- Plan is 92% efficient. - 70 foot clear spans. - Note: The Building Code now requires wider stairways. - Gaughen Lathrop Building - Camp Hill PA

- This was a proposal to face a new automated warehouse with passive solar panels. - All energy absorbed would reduce the gas input to ovens. The anticipated energy reduction was considerable. - Prairie DuChein WI - As Sr. Architect at 3M
- This industrial transportation system was designed to inspire industry to be built near the Detroit River. - Several aspects of this design were used including the concept of relocating factories, then tearing them down to create parks. - The 'People Mover' was an outgrowth of this study. - With Charles Blessing, Director Detroit City Plan Commission
