Summer Fowler Email & Phone Number

Summer Fowler, Owner & President, ecoREAL, LLC, DWBE #6977, WELL Faculty, Associate AIA, LEED® AP+ BD&C, OAME Board of Directors: Summer Fowler is a passionate advocate for the intersection of Sustainability and Social Equity. She started her career at Sienna Architecture in Seattle, where she pioneered several cutting edge sustainability projects, including one of the first Living Buildings the June Key Delta House, and first LEED Neighborhood Development Pilot project in Dubai. When that firm went under in the 2009 downturn, she founded ecoREAL with the mission to make Green Building accessible for all. She built her Green Canary software after working on a Federal LEED jobsite, and living with the subs on a remote location learning their headache with documentation. Her tools integrate sustainability seamlessly with the design and construction process to ensure every project can optimize their building and people performance goals, while ensuring a healthy indoor environment. She teaches, leads, and innovates to make Green Building the best investment for the people, the buildings, the environment, and the people it serves. Her triple bottom-line approach has helped owners, including the City of Portland, Multnomah County, School Districts, Non-profits and private owners like the Ritz Carlton and Walmart HQ, exceed their sustainability and equity goals. This has included non-profits achieving Net Zero goals they didn’t think were possible through incentives, and helping the City of Portland make the leap from LEED Platinum to also Well Building for the major renovation of their historic Portland Building. She is an expert in making sustainability more affordable, including HUD MIP financing, ETO’s Path to Net Zero program, and federal programs to help projects from low-income school districts and affordable housing push their green building goals towards achieving the Architecture 2030 challenge despite budget concerns. Summer started the Sustainability and Equity Committee for the Oregon Association of Entrepreneurs 13 years ago before joining the board and is the incoming Chair. She is Well Faculty and serves on the International Well Building Institute's Global Equity Advisory Committee to advocate for Well Buildings for All. Her Green Canary Healthy Material Tracking software "red-flags" any emission violation with ALL products automatically in the submittal process to help ensure teams meet the stringent indoor air quality performance testing requirements. All this effort is to support the belief that healthy buildings are a human right.
