About Lyle Keck

I enjoy the problem solving aspect of design and engineering; each project presents an opportunity to optimize and innovate. I was drawn to building performance and sustainability because it encompasses all aspects of building design. A truly high performance design involves a deep understanding of synergies between disciplines and it takes an integrated and collaborative effort to maximize results.
