Description

Jacob Lehrer is currently an Architecture Student at Wentworth Institute of Technology. He has been fascinated by engineering and design his entire life and has put a focus on sustainability throughout. His first job in college was in a sustainability consultant role. He passed the LEED Green Associate exam in June 2019 at 17, the LEED AP BD+C in June 2021 at 19, the LEED AP O+M in July 2022 at 20, and the LEED AP ND in April 2023 at 21. These credentials and experiences help inform his designs and thoughts about how buildings should be constructed. His hope is that we, as a species, can move forward in a more positive and sustainable direction. He is excited to help realize that vision by seeking how technological innovations and forward-thinking can push architecture and sustainability into the future.

Exploring some of the techniques, architecture, and how to design your buildings for passive systems around the world. Using software and tools as an extension of your own arm to express your ideas more succinctly and with your own designs. "The main goal for me in the future of my career is I want to use these sustainable technologies and stable rating systems in parallel with things like computation and research. These innovative technologies do exist but haven't really been involved in architecture that long. Finding out ways to kind of combine those two worlds in a way that makes buildings more economical, more viable, more useful for people who use them because the way we use our buildings has changed a lot with the pandemic too." -Jacob Lehrer Get the episode transcript here!!
