The primary goal of the study was to help the client demonstrate that the design complies with the regional building requirements. He also regularly mentors and provides training for clients to develop and enhance their skills in building simulation and sustainable design. Pollock also loves photography and can usually be found with his camera at family events, outings, and on holidays.
