Our civil engineering/building science design team provides consulting services to Habitat for Humanity, focusing on affordability and energy efficiency. In addition to the consulting services our design team provides, we compete in the US Department of Energy's Race to Zero Competition. After only 1 year since the teams' conception, we placed first at the international level of competition in the semi-attached housing division.As the building enclosure team lead Io Managed members of the building enclosure division and collaborated with the leads of other divisionso Performed research and analysis for building assembly components to determine the optimal design for a net-zero emissions affordable homeo Wrote technical reports for the Race to Zero Competition explaining the reasoning behind design decisions and outlining steps taken to ensure energy efficiency and affordabilityo Conducted thermal and hygrothermal analysis in THERM and WUFI
