Marlin S Addison
Principal
Marlin is nationally recognized as a leading expert in the development and practice of simulation-based energy efficient building design. Evidence of his expertise in the field of advanced building energy simulation include:
35+ years of specialized professional experience in building energy simulation that dates from the near-founding of the field and launch of the industry (1982)
Clinical Associate Professor at Arizona State University’s Design School, 2002 to present ― first of only a handful of programs in the U.S. to provide graduate education in building energy use simulation.
Since 1997, a principal developer (under J.J. Hirsch) of leading whole-building energy simulation design tools including: DOE-2, PowerDOE® and eQUEST. eQUEST has been the most widely used detailed building energy simulation tool for the past 15 years, used as the basis for ~70% of all USGBC LEED submittals (source: Rocky Mountain Institute).
Since 1989, presented >300 multi-day seminars on detailed energy simulation methods to:
U.S. Department of Energy,
ASHRAE, American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers
Sandia, NREL, PNNL and ORNL national laboratories, the Rocky Mountain Institute
Numerous internationally recognized A&E firms
Thousands of professional practitioners, sponsored by electric utilities across the U.S.
Provided simulation services for the nation’s most notable sustainable building projects, including:
National Audubon Society Headquarters in New York City (1989),
Headquarters of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Wash., D.C. (1991)
West Coast Headquarters of the Natural Resources Defense Council in Santa Monica, CA (2004)
Empire State Building in NYC (2008, for Johnson Controls and Rocky Mountain Institute)
Four AIA COTE (Committee on the Environment) “Top Ten” awards, the AIA’s most prestigious national award recognizing sustainable building design (1998, 2005, 2006, and 2007)
