Valerie Gilbert

I am an Energy and Sustainability engineer. My energy awareness started with a 100-yr old house and very high winter gas bills. A lack of understanding in building science principles fueled a learning passion culminating with a degree in Architecture Engineering and over 100 hours of energy efficiency classes. I have spent the last ten years working with commercial clients to build analyses that reflect clients’ energy concerns and goals, with specifics on next steps, costs, savings through energy efficiency incentives, and retrofit opportunities. My next act focuses on neighborhoods and local communities, working toward good sustainable design and development decisions.
