Myron.Katz@BuildingScienceInnovators.com
Myron Katz is a Co-Founder and Principal of Building Science Innovators (BSI). Myron holds a host of certifications in the field of building energy design. He specializes in analysis of building science problems in both micro and macro settings. The MICRO problems are those the building has interacting with nature, and the comfort and safety it provides for its occupants as well as the durability of the building against those challenges. The MACRO problem posed by a building includes its environmental and economic footprints. For example, buildings without batteries effectively dump their demands onto the electricity grid at times that are most often most expensive. Myron has published a number of papers and reports on a wide range of building science topics both in the MICRO AND MACRO senses just explained. This led Myron to present a series BSI-funded talks at RESNET’s 2016 national conference to raise awareness of the short-comings associated with narrowly focusing upon energy efficiency. One of RESNET's past presidents pointed out that BSI’s talks were not get 1% of the attention they deserved.
