Ian Brown

Ian A. Brown is one of two Resource Conservation Specialists at Seattle Public Schools (SPS) since April 2019. He concentrates on energy and water utility tracking, data analysis, conservation strategies, decarbonization, rebates and grants. Much of his time now is taken up with compliance with two building performance standards required of SPS. He’s also worked as a general contractor, wearing the many hats of the self-employed: cost estimator, supply logistics, job site coordinator, accounts payable and receivable, hand holder. He has installed energy monitoring systems, data acquisition platforms and performed blower door and duct blasting tests for residential and commercial end-use load research projects. He has worked on pioneering studies on residential infiltration, building envelopes, and HVAC system efficiency.
