ENERGY  MODELING WORKSHOP
BY CRAMER SILKWORTH / BAUKRAFT.

The fifth event for 2019 Building Science Lecture and Workshop Series exploring building sciences in the 21st Century will be on  Wednesday, October 16th at 4.30-6.00pm in the Building Science Studio, with a Energy Modeling Workshop by Cramer Silkworth of Baukraft. This workshop is open to the whole school but as space is limited, please RSVP to . 

Baukraft provides enclosure consulting and mechanical system design and engineering for residential and light commercial buildings, up to and including Passive House levels of energy performance. By optimizing (and verifying) the enclosure, the mechanical system can be precisely tuned to the demands of the building without the need for excessive over-sizing, ensuring optimal performance and comfort.

Cramer Silkworth is a licensed engineer providing Passive House consulting and mechanical system design. He graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 2006 with a Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering. In 2007 he moved to Stuttgart, Germany and joined Transsolar Energitechnik, integrating climate-responsive design elements with energy modeling for buildings of all types around the world, and continued with Transsolar from 2008 to 2011 in New York City. In 2012 he founded Baukraft Engineering to provide energy efficiency consulting and mechanical design for residential and small-scale commercial projects in NYC and the Hudson Valley. He also teaches the Certified Passive House Designer for the North American Passive House Network and has taught semester-long courses in low energy buildings at The Parsons School of Design, The City College of New York, and The Rhode Island School of Design.
