Ken has over 20 years of building science and building performance experience. Ken is a
technical expert of hygrothermal dynamics within buildings, specializing in building enclosures
for both new construction and retrofits. He brings a wide perspective that building performance
includes many factors, including durability, economic impact, environmental impact, risk
management, comfort, operation and maintenance. Ken leads the BEC team through enclosure
assessments and investigations. He engages with design teams to achieve performance
objectives.

Ken’s past experience includes serving as technical lead on the National Grid Deep Energy
Retrofit (DER) Pilot (2009-2013) in MA and RI., guiding retrofits of more than 40 buildings and
achieved average measured post-retrofit performance of 22 kBtu/sf-year. He was a principal
author of the MassSave DER Builder Guide. He led several Building America Program research
projects focused on retrofit including a masonry wall retrofit pilot in Chicago.

When Ken is not examining existing buildings, guiding construction details or diving deep into
building plans, he enjoys his family and being active outdoors. Ken lives in the vibrant
community of Maynard, Massachusetts where he participates in various commissions and
committees and is often found covered in sawdust and conducting the evolution of his own 100+
year-old home.

Chris has over 10 years of building science and performance experience. He has a passion for energy efficiency and problem solving in all aspects of the built environment. He performs facility condition assessments, energy usage analysis, and project commissioning.
