Jacob has over ten years of professional experience on projects of a wide range of scales. He has a gift for motivating design teams in the process of translating conceptual ideas into reality from schematics through construction. He is a LEED Accredited Professional with the United States Green Build Council and a member of the American Institute of Architects. Jacob has influenced archimania’s design process through analyses of energy performance data. His efforts to push projects toward the highest sustainability performance have led the firm to make the AIA 2030 Commitment, a framework to help firms evaluate the impact of project design on energy efficiency, and has pushed archimania’s use of energy modeling on the front end of design and to conduct post-occupancy and energy data analysis.
