CONCRETE EVIDENCE: “The use of a total precast structure had significant value in reducing the time to construct the building by about 15%.”

John R. Riley

If you’re looking for evidence of the value and flexibility of designing with precast concrete, just ask one of the thousands of successful executives like John Riley, County Administrator, Frederick County, VA. Mr. Riley recognized the cost saving value and expanded design options that total precast construction offered Frederick County’s New Public Safety Building.

enVironment Energy gobbling grocers change their environment

by Vandana sinha staff reporter

Neighborhood grocers are starting to show a green side beyond their produce aisles by incorporating more environmentally friendly features in their building designs. Supermarkets in the area are just begin- ning to jump on the conservation band- wagon, investing in glass-shelled buildings worthy of the U.S. Green Building Council’s nod for environmentally conscious architecture. Hearty consumers of energy with their maze of freezers, refrigerated shelves and massive warehouses, grocery stores are finding that the benefits outweigh the costs when scrapping their decades-old designs in favor of energy-efficient alternatives.

Branch said only that the new solicitation RECEPTIONS “will take advantage of the increased opportunity for density and economic changes that have occurred in the market.” Trammell Crow is still interested in the project, said Chris Roth, Northeast president for the company. “Trammell Crow has been ready, willing and able to fulfill the obligations that had been agreed to two years ago,” when it came to terms with Howard, he said. Roth declined to elaborate on the company’s relationship with the school. Michele Hagans, president of D.C.-based Fort Lin- coln Realty and a Howard graduate, could not be reached for comment.

THE LIFE IS BETTER LIVED TOGETHER 2008 VOLVO C70

BEAUTIFUL. INTELLIGENT. STRONG. SOUND LIKE ANYONE YOU KNOW? The same traits we look for in each other are surprisingly similar to what we desire in a car. The C70 is a beautiful coupe, and even more breathtaking as a convertible. Not to mention that the intelligent design of the retracting hardtop, and all that it reveals, will knock your socks off. The C70 doesn’t just open up; it blossoms. It lures you to bask in its luxury and cradles you in comfort. But don’t let all this beauty and intelligence fool you. It’s also built tough enough to protect all that you hold dear, whether they are beautiful, intelligent, strong or, most likely, all of the above. So you can put the top down, even let your hair down, and have a little fun.

our view Green barriers It’s hard to oppose submetering. Allowing businesses to pay their electricity bills according to how much energy they actually use, rather than having their landlord estimate based on the size of their space, promotes conservation and accountability. Yet it’s not allowed in the District, even though Virginia and Maryland sanction the practice, as we reported last week. This regulatory obstacle exists in a city that prides itself for being among the most environmentally pro- gressive, a city that — for example — in 2006 began requiring developers of city-led projects to adhere to the guidelines of the U.S. Green Building Council. Yet some of the city’s regulations don’t always mesh with its environmentally conscious intentions. Consider the city’s rules for granting a certificate of occupancy for a condominium unit. A residential developer must build out the entire unit — bathroom fixtures, kitchen counters — before it can be turned over to owners. What frequently ends up happening, particularly in high-end units, is that new owners rip out those fixtures and replace them with their own interior design and materials, creating construction waste. Why not let developers sell finished shells and let residents complete them as they wish? Another example is when the impulse to go green Don’t forget, hire the vet conflicts with historic preservation goals.

respects us for what our backgrounds are. We make it our goal to make sure the government has the best product at the end of the day.

How has your company been doing since 2003? We’ve been doing very good. It’s always difficult to start a company, but within two months we had an 18-month $2.3 million De- partment of Defense contract. And that was what got us a hold as a company. The key is to have as many contracts as you can in your pockets.

What countries are you working in now? We’ve been to probably 35 countries. The majority of the training we do is on behalf of the U.S. government. But we’re training foreign law enforcement personnel. We taught border security to former Soviet states. If we can secure their borders, it makes our borders more secure.

Is there a private sector demand? We have been almost exclusively a government contractor. And we’re exploring taking our services to multinational corporations. It’s con- vincing these companies that they need this kind of stuff. There are a lot of commercial companies that could use the training we put on, and emergency response is one of them. Immigration training is another.

What’s a typical day for you? I’m not sure that there is a typical day. A lot of time is spent dealing with other government contractors. I don’t go anywhere without a business card in my pocket ready to hand it out to someone who could use our services or could have a compatible product line to ours. And one of my most important roles is business development — getting the company known in the industry.

What about for your guys out in the field? Most of our training is done overseas, so when they’re in that mode, they’re going to be traveling to places like Uzbekistan, Kenya or Libya, and it’s basically a 12-hour-a-day operation, plus socializing with the students in the evenings. And that’s important, to be able to shake hands with the training students and get them to understand that America’s trying to help them out.

How can you tell when there’s heroin in someone’s girdle? [Laughs] Well, I was on the investigative side. We operate on behavioral cues, and when an individual approaches an joanne S.

The company offers a carbon calculator to figure out what your individual trips may cost you and the environment. The savings in time and frustration may be even more valuable than the cash saved. Marco Ciavolino, senior executive of consulting company Enktesis LLC in Forest Hills, Md., has been working with online meeting tools for 10 years. When helping a New York client design some awards recently, he avoided travel by using desktop sharing tool GoToMeeting to work collab- oratively on the same Photoshop file on his computer. “It saved at least two hours of time,” Ciavolino says. In deciding whether to use online video or meet face to face, Jerry Glass, president of D.C. human resources consulting company F&H Solutions Group LLC and former vice president of human resources at USAirways Inc., asks himself three questions: How critical is it to have a face-to-face discussion? When you factor in the cost of time and travel, will the meeting likely be as successful online as it would be in person? Finally, how easy will it be to do the meeting online and will the technology be easily used by everyone?

Have you ever experienced a dead-fish handshake? What first and lasting impression did that person make? A strong handshake involves the entire body. Smile, make good eye contact, extend your hand and point the center of your torso (think belly button) toward the other person. A bit of interesting history: The handshake came into practice when medieval kings and knights grasped one another’s hand to show they did not possess a con- cealed weapon and posed no harm. In the 21st century, a good handshake conveys the same warm feeling of likability and trust.
