This document provides an overview of a guest lecture on sustainable design in hospitality facilities by Rolf Kielman from TruexCullins architects. It discusses Kielman's background and experience in sustainable design. TruexCullins focuses on sustainable design and green building practices. The document also previews the next class which will cover lighting systems, and provides updates on student projects which are 80% complete with presentations scheduled in the coming weeks. Electrical systems are a major cost for hotels and strategies like backup generators and energy efficient lighting can help reduce operating expenses.

“I was born in Holland, immigrated to Canada as a youth,
and with the exception of work and study abroad, have spent
my adult life in Vermont. While studying in Holland and
Scandinavia, I developed an interest in sustainable design
and I learned how to express a people’s culture through
design. New England has similar architectural
traditions….build what is needed, let the craft of building be
expressed, include a dose of understated whimsy”

5. Sustainable design is at the core of our practice at
TruexCullins. From the design of the Church Street
Marketplace in the 1970s to the positive energy and LEED-
certified buildings of today, we engage our clients and
demonstrate the benefits of green design. In doing so, we
deliver beautiful, high performance buildings and interiors
that illustrate how sustainability enhances their lives and
our environment
