“Our industry continues to face new challenges including affordable deep energy retrofits for existing buildings, electrification of our new and existing buildings through new technologies, and planning for and understanding our everyday energy use,” he said in a release.
As VP, Brosnick managed a multi-disciplinary staff while also completing his own work in design engineering and green-building consulting and taking part in decision making and guidance for the firm. In his new role, Brosnick focuses on improving Taitem’s transparency in communications with staff and clients and advocating for high-performance buildings, the firm says.
