Design the Future

Adrienne Johnson on buildings as part of a just energy transition


Listen Later

Adrienne Johnson is a mechanical engineer with Point Energy Innovations, where she focuses on helping clients realize high performance buildings, including net zero projects. Her interest in sustainability is broad; she has researched water and energy issues and won the USGBC’s Malcom Lewis IMPACT! award in 2017 for her work on a school in Parkwood, outside of Capetown.

She hopes to see net zero energy buildings gain momentum and buildings become part of an overall just energy transition.
