John Ackerly Email & Phone Number

John Ackerly is a President at Alliance for Green Heat. He possess expertise in sustainability, energy efficiency, environmental awareness, renewable energy, nonprofits and 24 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Mid way through our project for the headquarters of International Campaign for Tibet, John requested that as architect of record we implement as many sustainable practices as practical & feasible in light of the budget. At the time the firm has yet to develop in-house expertise in green architecture and due to a common but unwarranted concern for cost impact on the job, there was initial resistance to accommodate the client's wish. But John's charming and endearing manners, as well as his genuine environmental conscience affected me personally. On account of his advocacy and a desire to educate the office, I undertook research into sustainability, invited vendors to come in and give us luncheon seminars on their products. In the end we specified steel framing with engineered wood truss joists, Inverted Roof Membrane Assembly (IRMA) with high strength light weight concrete pavers, and glassfiber wool ceiling tiles as well as alternates for renewable hardwood, inert spray-on foam insulation to turn what would been a conventional non-sustainable project into one with many features that any LEED certified building owner would have been proud to boast. For many people on the sustainability bandwagon, "green" remains the color of money and mostly about self-promotion. With John, it was truly about the well-being of the environment. I am not surprised that John went on to found Alliance for Green Heat to educate the public and advocate for policies that promote cleaner & more efficient home heating biomass technology." and "John is the ultimate boss. He provided me constructive criticism and guidance when I needed it most while ensuring a supportive environment where I could pursue my creativity and ideas. He also led the International Campaign for Tibet through a period of rapid expansion as it bloomed into a truly global organization. I would be happy to further discuss John's management skills if interested."

Listed skills include Sustainability, Energy Efficiency, Environmental Awareness, Renewable Energy, and 25 others.
