Matt Jungclaus is a former Manager with RMI’s buildings practice. He worked on the Pathways to Zero Initiative, which focuses on driving the adoption of superefficient and net-zero energy buildings. Matt proved the technical and business case for net-zero energy at the district scale through client-driven work for district-level building developments and through involvement in programs such as the Department of Energy’s Zero Energy District Accelerator. Matt led a market and policy analysis for major cities considering a policy that would require building energy upgrades at the point of sale, which could result in substantial building energy use reductions, job growth, and other key benefits. Matt’s work at RMI included developing a net-zero energy strategy for the McDonald’s Corporation and delivering integrative design workshops for federal and private sector clients.
