Building Professional
KIMBERLY COWMAN
PE, LEED AP, HFDP, vice president,
national director of engineering, Leo
A Daly (Omaha, Neb.)
A
FTER 17 YEARS leading engineering
teams focused on healthcare, in
2019 Kimberly Cowman was elevated
to her current position as
national director of engineering at
Leo A Daly. In this role, she's had the opportunity
to further pursue her career-long passion
and professional mission for increasing awareness
and adoption of sustainability and highperformance
design in healthcare and beyond.
She believes healthcare has not only an opportunity
but a responsibility to transform the way
its buildings operate and become a leader in creating
more sustainable and healthier places. " As
designers, we have a direct impact not just on the
climate-related outcomes of communities, but
on the health outcomes of the people who occupy
healthcare facilities, " she says.
For example, in 2021, Cowman helped form
Leo A Daly's fi rmwide Design Integration Group
(DIG), which strives to advance an integrated
design agenda focused on high-performance
building outcomes. The group's efforts include
benchmarking across sectors, including two major
hospital projects: Veterans Hospital in Tulsa
(VHiT) in Tulsa, Okla., and St. Francis Hospital
in Muskogee, Okla. Integrated design workshops,
which included representatives from
across the entire design team and varying design
disciplines, were brought together for each
of these projects to identify performance goal
targets, such as for energy use intensity (EUI),
and to fi nd design strategies that could result in
a better performing design. That eff ort included
considerations for thermal comfort, site community
connection, daylighting opportunities,
and indoor air quality, among others. By working
to grow a design culture around cross-disciplinary
solutions, Cowman believes the industry can
make larger strides toward achieving goals regarding
energy conservation, carbon reduction,
and healthier indoor environments.
Meanwhile, she frequently offers her knowledge
to advance the industry via publications,
speaking engagements, and more. Her recent
work includes the whitepaper " Raising indoor
humidity to reduce the spread of pathogens, "
which pioneers new approaches in building design
to slow the spread of COVID-19 and other
airborne pathogens, as well as outreach efforts
to advance the adoption of Energy Star certifi cation
in healthcare facilities. Cowman encourages
Energy Star certifi cation in healthcare facilities
to target the operational energy impact of a
facility and focus on fi nding effi ciency opportunities
through the life of a building's operation.
