Within his consulting role with the Colorado Governor’s Energy Office High-Performance Building Program, Jefferson works alongside the design community, building owners, local officials, and communities across the state to solicit input and advice on what works best in their communities to develop high-performance buildings. Leading the design of five net zero projects, Jefferson has provided engineering design excellence and project leadership for some of the nation’s most inspiring, energy-efficient buildings, particularly in the education sector. Currently, Jefferson’s involvement with ASHRAE’s Advanced Energy Design Guidelines is helping to develop specific measures and strategies with a goal of making schools 50% more energy efficient than the minimum code requirements.
