Today I want to shift gears and share a non-COVID-19 #WorkFromHome type post...
When I started working at
LHB in 2004 I worked in the
Government Studio for two years. I had already written my first Revit textbook (copyright 2003 on Revit 5.0) but LHB did not have Revit installed on any computers just yet. About a year in, I worked with my predecessor, the firm's CAD Administrator, to make the LHB titleblock that the housing group would use on their first Revit projects.
One of the first projects I worked on at LHB, therefore, was done in AutoCAD. I have plenty of experience in AutoCAD, including this book I still update every year:
Residential Design Using AutoCAD 2021. LHB still uses AutoCAD (Civil 3D mainly) on all of its horizontal projects; civil, survey, bridge, etc.
The project I want to share today is the
Kawishiwi Ranger Station located in Ely, Minnesota for the US Forest Service. The design included retail and office space as well as Apparatus bays for forest fire fighting equipment.
Recognition:
- 2009 US Forest Service Eastern Region Honor Awards – Walk the Talk for Sustainability
- LEED Silver Certified

I recently started taking some time to better understand the Rhino ecosystem, particularly around analysis. Today's post shows my results from testing three ways to develop daylighting calculations for illuminance at a single point in time.
