I chose BR+A’s Sustainability Design team as my new home because they offered the most opportunity for cross-pollination. BR+A is a leader in low carbon engineering and electrification, specifically for traditionally high intensity buildings, and I am a leader in the Passive House consulting community. With the next several years being critical in climate action, I wanted to be in a place where I could make the greatest impact possible in this pivotal period of time. I’m also involved in helping create new Passive House reference standards via ASHRAE 227, and for high energy intensity building typologies, notably labs and healthcare, working with a firm that is leading the industry in innovative cost-effective solutions will allow this standard to benefit from BR+A’s experience.
