His practice Kipnis Architecture + Planning is based in Evanston and in Boulder Colorado. His architectural work has been centered around sustainable design since attending the University of Colorado in 1979 for their solar design program. He designed his first solar home in Boulder in 1983. He then obtained his Master of Architecture degree from Arizona State University with an emphasis in Energy Conscious Design. A founding member of the American Institute of Architect’s 2030 Commitment Working Group in 2009 Mr. Kipnis served as the committee’s national co-chair from 2018 to 2019. He has also served on the AIA’s national Sustainability Leadership Group as well as on the Committee on Climate Action and Design Excellence. He currently continues his national AIA committee work as the Sustainability Director on the Executive Committee of the Small Firm Exchange. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n Jessica Goswick\nAIA CPHD Architect and Building Performance Lead at Architects Fora\n\n\n\n \n \n Jessica is an architect educator and sustainability specialist focused on making high-performing beautiful places accessible to all. She is the Building Performance Lead at FORA a women-owned fully virtual architecture and community engagement firm working on housing justice and healing through design. Jessica leads the development and implementation of firm sustainability goals incorporating energy modeling into standard firm practice and guiding teams to meet ambitious performance and equity targets. With deep expertise in passive strategies research-driven design and carbon reduction she helps turn sustainability from a checklist into a design ethos. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n Jack Rusk\nDirector of Climate Strategy at EHDD Architecture\n\n\n\n \n \n Jack Rusk is the CEO and co-founder of C.Scale a software platform democratizing access to whole life carbon data and design strategy. C.Scale was founded on the belief that data-driven tools can help get "all hands on deck" in the work of transforming buildings and cities from a climate burden to a climate solution. In the last few years he's presented research at the International Mass Timber Conference applied machine learning and remote sensing techniques to model how urbanization is changing people’s exposure to natural hazards in mountainous areas helped the US GSA define its carbon mitigation strategy and written articles for a number of architecture publications and peer-reviewed research journals. He currently volunteers for the Living Future Energy+Carbon Technical Advisory Group the AIA DDx working group and as an AIA representative on the Embodied Carbon Harmonization and Optimization (ECHO) Project. \n\n\n\n \n\n Moderator \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n Erik Kolderup\nPrincipal at Kolderup Consulting\n\n\n\n \n \n Erik Kolderup is a consulting engineer and educator who uses energy modeling to improve building design. He has provided energy consulting services since 1990 serving as Vice President of Eley Associates and Associate Principal at Architectural Energy Corporation before starting Kolderup Consulting in 2007. He is an Adjunct Lecturer at Stanford University where he teaches a course on energy efficient building systems. He holds degrees in electrical engineering and industrial engineering from Stanford and is an ASHRAE-certified Building Energy Modeling Professional. \n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n Registration\nPlease register here to help us plan and to receive Zoom access if attending online. \n\n \n \n RSVP for Energy Modeling – Part 1\n \n \n Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n AIA DesignationNon-memberAIAAssoc.
