Paul Steinbach Headshot

HOK senior principal Susan Klumpp discusses the environmentally conscious design strategy for Nationals Park in Washington, D.C..

Zzz 707 Ab As a senior principal at architecture firm HOK Inc., Susan Klumpp takes the lead on most things LEED®. Having recently achieved the status of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Accredited Professional through the U.S. Green Building Council, Klumpp is now lending her expertise in the role of project manager to a building unlike any other in her 21-year HOK portfolio. Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., the future home of Major League Baseball's Washington Nationals, is loaded with environmentally friendly features ranging from high-efficiency field lighting (with a projected 21 percent energy savings) to low-flow toilets (contributing to an estimated annual water savings of 10 million gallons). If all goes according to plan, the park will become the first professional sports venue in the United States to receive LEED certification. Paul Steinbach asked Klumpp to explain the conversion of this onetime brownfield into a green yard.
