NESEA member collaborative efforts on building certification success.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been engaged in a series of surveys and data collection. Many of you received emails with survey links from Rayna and myself, and some of you heard from us by phone. We put together surveys around membership benefits and the NESEA website, because we’re in the process of re-evaluating both aspects of NESEA. It was great to get so much feedback from all of you who participated. So, what did we learn?
Tom Hartman, Chris Benedict, Andy Shapiro, and I are in the midst of a 2-week tour of high performance buildings in Saxony and Upper Austria. We’ll be presenting our findings during three sessions at Building Energy. Here’s a very quick taste of some of the things we’ve seen.
Today we’re talking to Kate Goldstein, a young NESEA member from Providence, RI, and a PhD candidate at MIT, about how she came to be involved with the organization and what NESEA has meant to her professionally and personally. This is part one of a two part conversation with Kate (pictured, right). In part two, she’ll talk about her efforts on behalf of Emerging Professionals at the BuildingEnergy Conference.
As always, we hope these Q & As will provide you with some insights about what you can expect from this year’s conference and the people who are making it happen.
