Presentation: Designing high performing buildings, capable of net zero energy with passive and low-energy strategies requires the integration of architecture and engineering and careful consideration of how the design responds to and leverages climatic resources.

This talk, from the perspective of an architectural design practitioner, will highlight tools, techniques, analysis though a series of case studies, including the Federal Center South Army Corps of Engineers Headquarters, the University of Washington Molecular Engineering & Sciences Building, and the new office for the Rocky Mountain Institute.

Presenter: Chris Chatto
Chris is an associate partner and sustainable design specialist at ZGF with a depth of expertise on projects for both public and private sector clients. His work focuses on optimizing building performance through energy and daylighting studies in early project development and tracking those building efficiencies in completed projects.

Chris works closely with project teams throughout all phases of a project to explore and integrate sustainable design components and to optimize building efficiencies. Specializing in energy use and environmental studies, he is responsible for researching and facilitating the design of efficient and healthy buildings through the innovative use of materials, technology and design techniques, the results of which have been presented at numerous conferences, lectures and seminars throughout the country.

Chris has developed and taught courses focusing on sustainable, climate responsive, and energy-efficient design at the University of Washington and the University of Oregon.
