Background

About Melissa Dosne

With nearly 10 years of involvement and leadership positions in various sustainability-oriented groups, I am always looking for new ways to use green building design and system change to help communities live healthier and happier. When I first learned about the consequences of rapid anthropogenic climate change at a young age, I knew I wanted to devote my lifestyle and profession to reducing our destructive impact on our planet. Today, the projects I’ve worked on have allowed me to explore holistic solutions for reducing carbon emissions caused by a building during construction and throughout its lifetime. During my B.Eng in Architectural Conservation and Sustainability, I developed a range of professional experience working with clients and communities to improve their buildings—from the design stage with structural engineering consulting to on-site with construction management and building science assessments. I have successfully led projects and research in: • sustainable building design • building information modeling (BIM), including Revit and AutoCAD • structural engineering • life cycle assessments • green building rating systems, such as Zero Carbon Building Standards, LEED, Living Building Challenge, One Planet Living, and others.
