Background

About Benjamin Welle

Growing sustainability concerns require a new generation of designers that practice integrated, data-driven design to deliver energy-efficient built environments with good indoor environmental quality quickly and cost-effectively. This new design paradigm begins with a sound knowledge of sustainable design principles and strategies to minimize energy consumption, maximize daylight, and improve occupant thermal comfort. This knowledge is supported by an understanding of how rapidly evolving digital methods such as building information modeling (BIM), building performance simulation, parametric modeling, computational design, cloud computing, multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO), design automation, and artificial intelligence (AI) may be used harmoniously to achieve building performance and project delivery objectives. My career and passion reside at the nexus of these disciplines.
