This new single-story Spawglass Office Building is a 20,000-sf "green" building. Built by Kirksey Green, it is anticipated to be the first LEED Certified building in Houston, Texas. The project team used local materials, constructed a white roof for reflectivity, used natural light effectively to reduce energy costs, and used low-E glass to reduce heat gain, glare, and energy loss. Kirksey was able to make minor adaptations to conventional design methods to accomplish the straightforward, cost-effective, and energy-efficient design.
