Brian McKinney brings to the firm considerable experience in providing modeling services and design support for a wide array of high-profile and high-performance buildings.  Prior to his career in building analysis, he worked as an architectural designer, with a focus on improving the quality of low-income housing.  With a strong background in energy analysis, daylight analysis, thermal comfort studies and life cycle assessment, his career has arced toward a specialization in buildings that successfully integrate high performance in energy consumption, carbon emissions, occupant comfort, and client financial objectives.

Since coming to JB&B, Brian’s primary focus has been in starting and developing the energy modeling practice at the firm.  As the first energy modeler with the Deep Carbon Reduction Group, he has played a key role in defining the work the team does and in creating the means and methods to do it.  He continues to spearhead the analysis and development of new ideas, strategies, and technologies within the firm, applying them to his work on a wide range of projects in healthcare, life science, commercial, and residential spaces.

Brian has a Bachelor of Architecture from Carnegie Mellon University and a Master of Science in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Stanford University.  He is a LEED Accredited Professional and an ASHRAE Building Energy Modeling Professional (BEMP).

Fun Fact: Brian loves to travel and hopes to visit every country in the world. In October, he got rid of his NYC apartment, packed his life into two carry-on bags, and started his life as a digital nomad (who returns to NYC frequently). His current plans involve travel throughout Central and South America.
