Ravi Srinivasan To Head NEXUS Net Zero Energy Center
11.6.09 | Boston, MA | The Green Roundtable/NEXUS welcomes Director of Technology & Innovation Ravi Srinivasan after searching for more than two years. Mr. Srinivasan will provide technical leadership across all areas of the organization’s activities.
“Ravi embodies the essence of our organization and its mission,” remarks Founder and Executive Director Barbra Batshalom. “He sees things from a multidisciplinary viewpoint, understands how to take new and highly complex problems and translate them into solvable ones and can engage a wide variety of stakeholders.”
As Director of Technology and Innovation, Ravi will provide technical leadership throughout the organization – Consulting Projects, Research and Development of Tools and Resources, and Development of Trainings and Educational Content. In December, GRT/NEXUS will introduce the first ever Net Zero Energy training series in the US, starting from the “Net Zero Energy 501: Building Envelope & Internal Load Optimization” Training. In the coming months, Ravi will offer trainings on LEED® EAc1, HVAC Design Optimization, and Onsite
Renewable Energy Integration. Ravi will also oversee quality control and professional development internally, and will be the technical face of the organization with clients and collaborators externally.
Ravi’s expertise is in building simulation and energy studies, sustainability and high performance strategies, and virtual/augmented reality visualization. Ravi was the first expert to present to more than 300 senior staff and management personnel in the Development group of Dubai World in connection with the creation and implementation of Green Building Regulations in the Middle East. He has made conference presentations before the International Building Performance Simulation Association, the City of Cambridge, and other engineers/architectural organizations. He has more than eighteen peer-reviewed journal and conference publications in the field of building energy and sustainability. Ravi’s leadership is demonstrated by his role as Board member of Delaware Valley Green Building Council (DVGBC) and a founding member and chair of the Emerging Green Building committee of DVGBC. He has received affirmation of his achievements through various engineering and architectural awards and has been honored by the Association of Energy Engineers with a Chartered Legend in Energy Award.
