Epiphany School Achieves LEED Gold Certification
Designed by the Miller Hull Partnership, the Epiphany School was recently awarded LEED Gold certification. Epiphany includes photovoltaic panels, a green roof, a sustainable land management plan, and high-efficiency radiant floor heating. Natural ventilation is provided from operable windows and each classroom has a chimney or shaft topped with two solar-powered fans. When the temperature in the room reaches a certain level, a louver to the chimney opens. The fans then help draw warm air out of the room through the chimney.

The Miller Hull Partnership Unveils New Designs for San Ysidro U.S. Land Port of Entry
Busiest land port in the world will also be greenest border crossing with targeted LEED Platinum certification and net zero energy for all occupied buildings.
The San Ysidro Land Port of Entry is designed to be the port of the future, not only operationally, but also in terms of high-performance buildings. All three phases of the project are targeted to achieve LEED Platinum certification due to energy efficiency, water conservation strategies, and an integrated design process. Most notably is the potential of achieving net zero energy in all the occupied spaces the buildings (on a net annualized basis, the buildings will provide as much power as they consume), the first facility open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, to achieve this in the United States.
