Managing Principal, Point Energy Innovations; BAE, Architectural Engineering, Pennsylvania State University
As the managing principal and co-owner of Point Energy Innovations, Falconer works to provide an innovative and affordable approach to decarbonizing buildings. Falconer designs all-electric mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems with the hope of accelerating the adoption of resilient and zero-carbon strategies. She has completed multiple LEED Platinum, Net Zero Energy and Passive House projects across schools, offices and laboratories. Falconer’s leadership balances her technical design skills with a focus on market analytics, business development and client cultivation. Her commitment to sustainable systems is seen in her thoughtful and unique designs, including an all-electric laboratory that was one of the first to pair thermal energy storage tanks with heat recovery chillers to provide heating and cooling to the building. Falconer prides herself on building long-term relationships with architects, developers and institutions to ensure the integrity of a project from design to completion. She is a member of ASHRAE and the Urban Land Institute and sits on the San Fransisco Urban Land Institute Sustainability Committee. She has been given the ASHRAE New Faces in Engineering Award and was named one of Engineered Systems Magazine’s 20 Women to Watch. Outside of work, Falconer spends time with her husband and their two small children, ages one and four. She has also been deeply involved in the organization First Graduate, where she mentors middle and high school students though their academic journeys, leading them to college. She loves to cook and garden and finds it especially rewarding to use the freshest seasonal vegetables in her own meals.
