As Sol’s Vice President, Design and Sustainability, Carl oversees the architectural design studio and manages the design and delivery of highly sustainable projects. This role has allowed him to develop a deep appreciation for Sol’s mission-driven culture and truly phenomenal team. Carl brings over a decade of leadership in the sustainable design industry, including past experience in architectural design, energy modeling, and software development, including helping to develop and launch Sefaira, the most widely used energy-and daylighting-analysis tool among U.S. architects. His architectural experience ranges from single-family residences to commercial and institutional work, and includes multiple Net Zero Energy, LEED Platinum, and Passive House projects. During his time at Sol, he’s most proud of his involvement in the Fairwood Commons project, the first multi-family Passive House in Ohio. Regardless of the size or complexity of the project, Carl loves the challenge of creating sustainable, low-energy buildings coupled with great design. His goal is to mainstream what many now consider “fringe” concepts: super-low-energy, carbon negative, regenerative design. When not in the office, you may find Carl going on adventures with his kids, composing music, or spending too much time in coffee shops.
