font-family:Arial'>To address growing concerns about energy supply, carbon
emissions, and the workplace, buildings are increasingly asked to meet higher
and potentially more complex levels of performance e.g. net zero energy,
sustainable and green, healthy and comfortable workplaces, grid- friendly, etc.
Are these goals achievable or illusory? To what degree can they be achieved
today in practice; and what innovation (technology, process, financial) is
needed to fully reach these aggressive performance levels in the future?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>Selkowitz has over 30 years of experience in building energy
performance and sustainable design, with an emphasis on research, development
and deployment of energy efficient technologies and design practices. Projects
range from basic materials research for advanced façades and daylighting, to
development of new energy simulation tools for integrated building design and
operations, and from near term demonstrations of emerging technologies to
research for a new generation of “zero energy” or “carbon-neutral”
buildings. The program balances a state-of-the-art research effort with an
aggressive technology transfer effort so that R&D results are effectively
adopted by the building industry. Selkowitz participates in a wide range of
building industry, government, and professional activities in the <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">U.S.</st1:place></st1:country-region> and
overseas. He is a frequent invited speaker to national and international
audiences on a variety of topics related to building energy efficiency, zero
energy building design, green buildings, sustainable design and the role of
buildings energy use in addressing climate change. He authored/co-authored
over 170 publications, 3 books and holds 2 patents. His research teams have won
several R&D 100 awards and he was the recipient of the 2002 ACEEE Champion
of Energy Efficiency Award. Before joining LBNL he was a principal in a
consulting engineering firm and taught courses in Environmental Controls and
Alternative Energy Systems. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
