Corbitt has led the firm in daylighting techniques and early-stage energy modeling to facilitate energy savings in a diverse portfolio of project types. Recent significant projects include the Summerville Medical Center Pediatric Emergency Department and PICU inpatient unit, and administration of the Green Globes sustainable rating system for the MeadWestVaco headquarters, which achieved South Carolina’s first “4 Green Globes” rating for sustainable interiors.
George Temple, AIA, LS3P Principal and Executive Vice President of Business, applauds Corbitt’s accomplishments. “Sarah’s leadership impact has been significant in helping LS3P’s design teams incorporate energy optimization principles for our clients’ projects,” he writes. “Sarah goes above and beyond to assist others with her sustainable practice expertise, and her commitment to improving our green initiatives internally and externally.”
