A Word from Mo - Shave to Save

Hello I’m Mo Ibrawish, the ASCE KC Section Attendance Co-Chair. We all have been touched by cancer in some shape or form.  Some are survivors, some have a family member or a friend who survived, and sadly many more of us have lost family or friends to it.  To FIGHT for those we lost and those that made it through, I decided to take on the Shave to Save Challenge to raise funds for the American Cancer Society.  I have until April 15th, to raise $5,000 for the American Cancer Society, and if I do, then Gary Lezak from KSHB Channel 41 will shave my hair completely off on the 8 PM news.

Presentation: 

The home of the recent Super Bowl 50 and the San Francisco 49ers’ is the relatively new Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. This stadium is the nation’s first professional football stadium to achieve LEED Gold certification for new construction from the U.S. Green Building Council. LEED certification is the internationally recognized standard for measuring sustainability in design and construction. Designed with many sustainable elements, the new design-build stadium incorporates photovoltaic panels, a green roof, public transit access, a public walking trail from the San Tomas Creek Trail, water-conserving plumbing fixtures, sophisticated building control systems and recycled materials. In particular, the stadium features a 27,000-square-foot green roof that lowers the building’s heating and cooling needs, shade canopies made of solar photovoltaic panels, electric vehicle charging stations, low-flow plumbing fixtures, reclaimed water for flush fixtures and to irrigate all landscaping, including the playing field. Recycled water will account for about 85 percent of all water used in the stadium. The 49ers even contracts with janitorial staff that uses sustainable green-certified products for all cleaning essentials and pest management that uses only green eradication products.  Sustainability, along with fan experience and technology, is one of the three pillars on which the 49ers built the stadium.
