Ed May

Ed May has spent his career on the science of building performance: simulation, envelope detailing, hygrothermal analysis, and the software that ties it together. He was Principal-in-Charge of Candela Lofts, the first PHI-certified multifamily building in New Jersey, and of one of the first EnerPHit-certified retrofits in the US, a landmarked Brooklyn townhouse.

He develops and maintains the open-source Passive House Tools toolkit, used by PH practitioners worldwide. He has taught for the Passive House Network and Passive House Canada, and as faculty at Stevens Institute of Technology and Parsons, where he led the DOE Solar Decathlon 2015 team.
