The Pacific Crest Outward Bound Basecamp consists of 20,000 square feet of new buildings – office, warehouse, dining facility, lounge and housing – along with campgrounds, roads and infrastructure on a 58 acre site in the Sierra foothills east of Fresno. The project goals call for sustainable design principles to be applied in developing the project, including climate responsive design, use of salvaged and recycled content materials, and resource efficient construction techniques. The camp is primarily used in the summer so cooling sets the design parameters. Passive cooling measures include: large overhangs, natural ventilation, low-E glazing and thermal mass
