Chris Colasanti, a Partner at JB&B, is committed to a philosophy of building system design that maximizes best practice in efficiency and sustainability while contributing to the ongoing health and well-being of the building’s users.  He has applied this philosophy on a wide range of building typologies, among them a new hospital for NYU Langone Health, The Shops & Restaurants at Hudson Yards, and the Museum of Modern Art expansion as well as “firsts” such as the Bank of America Tower at One Bryant Park, NYC’s first LEED Platinum building.  His approach in each of these has been idea-driven, challenging the status quo, with an awareness of the built environment as a complex organism.  Mr. Colasanti leads the Deep Carbon Reduction Group at JB&B, which maintains a comprehensive focus on delivering energy- and carbon-reduction solutions for clients to meet the rapidly changing policy requirements in New York and beyond through effective energy-efficiency and capital improvement strategies.

Mr. Colasanti earned his Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Pennsylvania State University.  He is a licensed Professional Engineer in the States of Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, is a LEED Accredited Professional, and is a Certified Energy Auditor of the Association of Energy Engineers.

Fun Fact: Before solving decarbonization problems at JB&B, Chris’s favorite job was his first: working at a Christmas tree farm when he was13 years old. Watching and helping families find that perfect tree was simply the best. When summer came, he got to do his second favorite thing: manual labor. Planting, shearing, and mowing around the Christmas trees got Chris outdoors, which has always been his happy place.
