Building Energy Efficiency Research Engineer
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)
Portland, Oregon
Edward Louie joined PNNL in June 2020 as a Senior Associate Energy Efficiency Engineer. He is passionate about all aspects of energy-efficient buildings and transportation. Edward has spent the last few years quantitatively and qualitatively examining how energy-efficient products and technologies perform in the real world and noting new issues that arise from increasing energy efficiency. His experiences include assessing, verifying, and quantifying the energy performance of over 600 new homes seeking above code energy efficiency certifications in the greater Portland and Southwest Washington area.
Edward’s academic background consist of a bachelor’s degrees in civil engineering and a master’s degree in energy and environmental policy. He has found this combination of hard and soft sciences, and quantitative and qualitative research methods to be invaluable. Technological advancements can create new inequalities potentially leading to violence and political instabilities if its implementation and distribution are not also considered thoughtfully.
