Stephen Selkowitz

Stephen Selkowitz is the Program Head of the Building Technologies Department at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He leads a group of architects, engineers and scientists who are studying all aspects of the thermal and daylighting performance of glazing materials and window systems. The group’s work is supported by government, utilities, and industry. A major theme of the group’s activities has been to convert fenestration from an energy cost to a net energy benefit, while improving comfort, amenity, and productivity. Selkowitz participates in a wide range of industry and professional activities, is a frequent speaker on the topic of fenestration and related building energy efficiency topics, and is the author of over 100 publications. Prior to joining LBNL he worked as an energy consultant and educator. He has a BA in Physics from Harvard and a Master of Fine Arts in Environmental Design from California Institute of the Arts.

A published paper is available on the subjects presented by Mr. Selkowitz at SCE:
