      Bio

      Daniels belief is to use data, facts and non-pejorative versions of compelling rhetoric to inspire business leaders throughout North America to ALWAYS consider the air we breathe and the carbon we create. With a focus on the societal impacts of the Environment and the movement from and within the community to ‘affect’ change. Daniel believes change starts with the individual and radiates outward from the home into the community and that as responsible citizens, we all have a role to play in protecting our living spaces from the impacts of a changing climate.

      Daniel is also the Founder and CEO of planksip®, which refers to an organic internet strategy of releasing digitally published content intended to enhance the comprehension of an author’s intellectual property and is always identified as a planksip®. This is accomplished using keyword phrases specific to the author’s message and inspired by Max Planck’s concepts of Quantum Mechanics as it relates to discrete packets of information. The process builds keyword equity and is a very effective propagation strategy. Conceptualizing concepts and identifying the process as a planksip® is the primary vehicle through which planksip® drives higher levels of reader comprehension.

                  Bio

                  Liam’s work is centered on analyzing the performance of buildings and building components through computer simulation and instrumentation.

                  Liam is the principal investigator of the Human-Building Interaction Lab with a dozen public and private sector partners and are also connected to Canadian and international researchers through NSERC SNEBRN, IEA EBC Annex 66, and IEA EBC Annex 79. Key projects include:

                  1) Adaptive/learning office controls that autonomously adapt to individual occupant preferences (light level and temperature) and occupancy patterns while also learning building characteristics.

                  2) Digital Campus Innovation Project: a project to develop building information models and a comprehensive performance data database for Carleton University’s 45 buildings. We are developing vibrant and illuminating methods of visualizing vast amount of energy and water use data.

                  3) Stochastic occupant behaviour modelling and incorporation of occupant models in simulation and design practice.

                  4) Study of condominium comfort and energy performance: new condos tend to have excessively large window areas and generally poor envelopes; this study is focused on understanding occupant behaviour, comfort, and energy in Canadian condos.

                  Liam has published over 130 academic papers, two textbooks, and has modelled or designed residential, commercial, and institutional buildings in locations ranging from Uganda to Manitoulin Island.
