Alex Fuller ’08 is a fellow at CNT Energy, a division of the Center for Neighborhood Technology that helps communities obtain the information and services they need to reduce their energy consumption and costs. CNT Energy’s areas of focus include building performance and energy efficiency, real-time electricity pricing, climate change analysis, regional energy planning, and green building research and evaluation.
Part of Alex’s work is to perform energy audits for residential buildings throughout Chicago. He has learned on-the-job how to spot opportunities to conserve energy and reduce emissions. He uses an infrared camera to dramatically show building owners where they lose heat, and money. Then he follows up with a written report and some calculations about how best to stop these losses. Alex recently had the opportunity to present his work at a meeting of the entire CNT staff.
