About Jonathan Seils

Prior to joining M-NPPC / PG / M&D I had worked on few LEED rated projects. Since my placement as the Construction and Maintenance Manager, I have been able to implement several successful programs to engage our trades staff into the utilization of green technologies. A new project which is currently under construction is the Watkins Regional Park Tennis Administration Building in Prince Georges County. As the Architect for the project I was able to develop a building which will serve as a training lab for our staff and hopeful will become a destination for school age children in Prince Georges County. Although it is only sq. ft. in size, an interactive green technology center will aid in the sustainability discussion and will allow our Maintenance & Development Division to transition to a program of green renovations to many of the 146 existing buildings which are in the Parks & Recreation System. We have trades personnel (60+) and are acting as the general contractor. The advantages are that we have the ability to make changes based upon the improvement of current technologies even during construction. For example the green roofing system was modified to include a internal irrigation system and the energy efficient lighting has been modified to be LED fixtures. In the coming months I will post updates on this project and many other projects which reflect the commitment to sustainability.
