Kjell Anderson AIA, LEED AP BD+C, cSBA , practices architecture and serves as the Director of Sustainability at LMN Architects in Seattle. His book “Design Enerngy Simulation for Architects” was written to expand and better define the field of design-centric energy simulations, led by Architects. Over 17 years in practice, he has worked on buildings in many regions and climates, adapting designs to the strengths of each one. He keynoted the 2016 SimBuild energy modeling conference, and has also presented at the AIA+2030 Series, Greenbuild, and the AIA Convention. He currently serves on the AIA National Energy Leadership Group, having helped author the AIA’s 2017 climate change statement and the 2018 AIA Energy Modeling Design Guide. He also serves on an IBPSA committee (Project Stasio) that hosts a website to crowd-source outstanding simulation outputs, pairing them with performance-based questions that architects may have not known they could ask.

Cory Duggin is a Principal at TLC Engineering Solutions’ PEAK Institute. The PEAK Institute focuses on research and development aimed at reducing energy and water consumption, enhancing building occupant productivity and health, and making buildings smarter to operate. Cory supports TLC’s building performance simulation efforts directly through projects and by leading internal training sessions. His simulation expertise allows engineering teams to visualize innovative technical solutions for high-performance design challenges. Cory holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering, both from Tennessee Technological University.

Myer Harrell is a Principal and the Director of Sustainability at Weber Thompson. He believes in the power of design to promote a sustainable future and manages the firm’s initiatives to that end. He was a member of the design team for the award-winning Eco-Laboratory, which won the national USGBC 2008 Natural Talent Design Competition, and was included in the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum 2010 Design Triennial Exhibit. 

Myer received the AIA Young Architects Award in 2021. He was also named a 2011 AIA Seattle Young Architect, and currently serves on the AIA Seattle board of directors. Nationally, Myer was active in the USGBC Greenbuild Program Working Group and Education Events Committee, and sat on the Board of Directors for Cascadia Green Building Council. He has co-instructed undergraduate and graduate architecture studios at the University of Washington, and has been a frequent studio critic. Myer received a Bachelor of Science in Architecture with Philosophy citation at the University of Maryland in 2002, a Master in Architecture at the University of Washington in 2005 and completed the UW Commercial Real Estate Certificate in 2016. 

Erin McDade is a Program Manager for Architecture 2030 and the 2030 Challenge for Products Lead. She brings to the organization a background in architecture, with a focus on sustainable building research and analysis. She holds a Master of Architecture degree from the University of Washington and worked at the Integrated Design Lab in Seattle before joining Architecture 2030. While with the Integrated Design Lab she helped to develop Targeting 100!, a tool for deep energy retrofits and aggressively sustainable new construction in the healthcare sector. She also completed lighting and thermal analyses on the revolutionary Bullitt Center. She leads Architecture 2030’s Products Challenge and helps manage the development of each of Architecture 2030’s programs and initiatives with a focus on the AIA+2030 Series and the 2030 Districts Network.
