Subject:"The Benefits of Building Energy Modeling"
The Long Term Investments of Life Cycle Analysis in Early Design
Presented by Charlie Christenson PE, BEMP, CEA, LEED AP BD+C

Agenda: Charlie brings his experience and passion for providing reliable and innovative building energy modeling to every high performance project. As one of the few ASHRAE Building Energy Modeling Professionals in California, he is highly recognized for his expert energy modeling skills for predictive modeling, calibrated modeling, and thermal comfort. Charlie’s 16 years of experience spans a wide range of occupancy types on both a building and campus scale. Across every project type, his collaborative approach with team members leads to delivering high quality and timely results for optimized building performance. Charlie works closely with the efficiency programs for several California utility agencies for both project participation and program development. He supports successful zero energy projects from concept planning, through detailed design, and into proof-of-performance, delivering ultra- low energy buildings to clients.
