About 

Hello! My name is Brittany, and I use building science to make the world a better place. I am a recent college graduate and newly certified CPHC with ambitions of  introducing Passive Building to our National Parks - if we must have structures there, then they had might as well leave as small a footprint as possible. I’m interested in opportunities to work on Passive House/high-performance projects, and I am hoping to earn my LEED certification sometime soon. It’s a pleasure to meet you!

Employment 

Passive House Institute US (PHIUS), Remote, Intern

As an intern with Phius, I “wear many hats.” I have aided my supervisor(s) with an array of tasks ranging from graphic design to communications, and have enjoyed every new experience. Most recently I’ve been working on the development of educational materials, and generally helping in any way that I am needed.

This internship provided me with my first experience working full-time in a formal office setting.

I also conducted inspections on job sites and was responsible for organizing data collected through those inspections.
