BEST Center is made up of dedicated staff and members. This is the latest spotlight in a series about our community.
“I am the director, at BEST Center, in charge of developing strategic partnerships. I got my Architecture Engineering degree from Princeton and my Master’s in Architecture from Yale. I was a teaching professor when I joined the Peralta Sustainability Committee; this is when I became the coordinator under the NSF grant to help form the BEST Center.
What inspired me to be more involved with building efficiency was when I learned that: buildings use 40% of the energy, are responsible for 40% of carbon emissions, and people spend 90% of their time indoors. I hope that students and faculty take their time to go through our website to further their education on building sustainability and realize that a career in this field is very lucrative and rewarding.”
