Energy and Environmental Research at Penn Praxis and the TC Chan Center: Beyond Net Zero, Tuesday, September 23, 2014

William W. Braham

During the past thirty years architects have used increasingly sophisticated simulation tools and ever escalating performance goals to evaluate the environmental performance of buildings. These goals have come to be known as "net-zero energy," "net-zero water" and other net-zero measurements. Dr. Braham will present his most recent projects and explain their holistic approach to fundamental design questions such as, "how much is enough?"

Dr. William W. Braham, FAIA, is Director of the Master of Environmental Building Design and the TC Chan Center for Building Simulation and Energy Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. He received an Engineering degree from Princeton University, and Masters and PhD degrees in Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania.
