Ed Pollock, Residential Buildings, Office of Building Technologies, U.S. Department of Energy

Ed Pollock
Ed Pollock leads the Residential Buildings Research Team in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Building Technologies. This program, known as the Building America program, applies a systems engineering approach to select the most cost-effective combination of energy savings strategies for homes in each climate zone in the U.S. The ultimate goal is to develop homes that produce as much energy as they use at a point at which the incremental cost of financing the energy efficiency improvements will be equal to or less than the cost of the energy saved.

He also leads the Home Performance with Energy Star program, which is a join DOE/EPA program to retrofit America’s 110 million existing homes.

To increase the market penetration of energy efficiency strategies in the residential market sector, Mr. Pollock was instrumental in developing the Energy Smart Home Scale, a “miles per gallon label” for homes, and the Builders Challenge Program, a deployment and marketing campaign for high performance homes.

Mr. Pollock earned a BS in physics at Westminster College and a BS in civil engineering at Johns Hopkins.
