At PG&E, he was responsible for developing their first zero net energy program. He has a Master of Architecture from the University of Oregon and a Bachelor of Architecture from Cornell University. Seth H. Holmes, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, is an Associate Professor of Architecture in the Golisano Institute for Sustainability at the Rochester Institute of Technology. His research addresses climate adaptation and resilient design with focuses on the integration of climate change projections with building performance modelling and methods for predicting overheating in buildings. His publications include a chapter in Planning for Community-based Disaster Resilience Worldwide (edited by by A. Awotona), and articles in Building Research and Information journal and ASHRAE, and he advised the LEED Resilient Design pilot credit update. He practices architecture with his firm Benefit Street Design.
