Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Dahlhausen is a Commercial Buildings Research Engineer with 12 years of experience applying advanced building energy modeling and data-driven software to make buildings more efficient, comfortable, and healthy. With a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and hands-on expertise in EnergyPlus/OpenStudio, CFD, residential auditing, and compliance modeling (T24, LEED), he bridges rigorous research and practical design workflows at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. He codes across Matlab, C/C++, Python, R, Ruby, and JavaScript to prototype simulation tools and visualize results, and has translated academic research on office energy profiling into industry-relevant software. Based in Golden, Colorado, he pairs field experience as a BPI-certified auditor with academic depth and a knack for turning complex thermal and regulatory requirements into usable applications. An uncommon strength is his combination of community-focused retrofit QA work and deep simulation skills, enabling solutions that work both in the lab and the real world.
