Heather Burpee, Research Associate Professor at the University of Washington Integrated Design Lab (IDL), is a nationally recognized scholar in high performance buildings. Her work bridges practice, research, and education with collaboration between practitioners, faculty, and students. Her research addresses both qualitative and quantitative aspects of buildings including tracking health impacts and synergies between environmental quality, natural systems, sensory environments, and energy efficiency. She has led several efforts to create protocols for performance based tracking and auditing for hospitals, higher education, and commercial buildings. She regularly applies these roadmaps in practice, consulting with leading design teams nationally that are charged with implementing high performance buildings. At the UW IDL, she leads outreach and education at the Bullitt Center, providing tours and other educational opportunities related to high performance buildings to multi-faceted audiences.
