Andrew works as a mechanical engineer in the Commercial Buildings Controls and Analytics group at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.  Since joining the lab in 2010, he has focused on making high-efficiency building design commonplace by making existing energy analysis tools more accessible. Recently, Andrew has focused on developing and calibrating ComStock, a nationwide model of the commercial building stock in the United States, and is particularly interested in the integration of building energy modeling with grid simulation. Past projects include the development of a now-commercialized mobile energy auditing tool, the development of the OpenStudio energy modeling platform, and the development of various software and analysis tools in support of utilities. 

Andrew holds a Bachelor of Science in Textile Engineering from North Carolina State University and a Master of Science in Advanced Energy Systems from the Colorado School of Mines.
