Problem Solver & Team Lead of ETD Market Transformations 2

Biography

For the last 18 years, Michael has worked to improve commercial buildings in the U.S. and beyond. Michael's work intersects lab investigations of technologies, field evaluations of new technologies, human factors, market transformation, energy codes, and appliance standards.

Over the last 18 years, Michael has supported U.S. Department of Energy's Appliance Standards program. This work various "Rulemakings" (RFIs, Determinations, NOPRs, Final Rules) for a variety of technology including:  HID lamps, metal halide fixtures, exit signs, fluorescent lamp ballasts, commercial spray valves, pool pumps, and automatic commercial ice makers. Since 2017, Michael has supported the U.S. Department of  Energy's Building Energy Code Program by supporting ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1. Michael's code work primarily relates to lighting and power-based technologies. 

Michael also has conducted field evaluations all over the U.S. of a variety of technologies: lighting, GEB, envelope, and building systems. 

In 2023, Michael was named Team Lead for Energy Technology Deployment Group's Market Transformation 2 team. Michael spends 10 - 20% of his time supporting the Team. Market Transformation 2 works to improve residential and commercial buildings.

When no working at the Lab, Michael actively supports his community. Michael is avid blood donor, served on the Board of the Trustees for the Susan Odell Taylor School from 2016 - 2025. He also is active in his industry serving on the Board of Trustees for the Illuminating Engineering Society from 2021 - 2024.

Michael is also a very active parent, husband, and cat wrangler. When not working or spending time with his family, he is fighting the entropy of homeownership.
