IN-PERSON ATTENDEES   

The Buildings XV Conference brings together product manufacturers, research organizations, academia, builders, designers, architects and consultants to discuss their work achievements, interest and awareness of buildings issues, and to provide solutions and insight into some of our major building envelope problems. 

The conference is organized by ASHRAE along with Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

“This conference draws heavily on the advanced technical knowledge of our global experts and takes place every three years, allowing time to develop new research and technology applications and to document findings,” says André Desjarlais, conference chair.

    Evolution of A Deep Energy Retrofit

    Betsy Pettit, M.Arch., FAIA

    Betsy Pettit is the president  and co-founder of Building Science Corporation.  Ms. Pettit is a registered architect with over 40 years of professional experience in the design and renovation of residential, commercial, and institutional buildings.  With a particular passion for and commitment to environmentally responsible design, Ms. Pettit oversees Building Science Corporation’s role in the Department of Energy’s Building America project, which has been involved in the research and design of thousands of high performance houses throughout the United States.


    30 Years of Building Science Innovations

    Achilles Karagiozis. PhD

    Achilles Karagiozis is the director of NREL’s Buildings and Thermal Sciences Center. He manages a multidisciplinary team of approximately 150 researchers within the laboratory’s Buildings research groups.

    He provides strategic planning to bolster NREL efforts to transform energy through buildings science and integration. His work is focused on accelerating the development of strategic technical capabilities and directing world-class multidisciplinary research funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, other federal agencies, and industry partners.

    Dr. Karagiozis comes to NREL from Owens Corning where he was the global director of building science and led global accountability for the company's building science strategy. During his 9-year tenure, he shaped, educated, and trained others in energy efficiency and green building science, transforming building science into a growth engine aimed at accelerating energy-efficiency improvements in the built environment.

    Before joining Owens Corning, Dr. Karagiozis was a distinguished researcher at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where he worked for 14 years. Earlier he spent 9 years at the National Research Council creating and deploying advance hygrothermics.  He chaired ASHRAE Standard Project Committee 160, which specifies criteria for designing high-performance buildings. He was an Energy and Environmental Building Alliance board member and served on the Passive House Institute US Technical Committee.
