Eliot is the Lead Mechanical Engineer at Green Canopy NODE with over ten years of experience in engineering design and manufacturing. His background is a combination of aerospace automation and construction technologies. He has a passion for affordable housing and finding the balance between form and function.
While studying Environmental Science in college, I realized my passion for green buildings. After gaining hands on construction experience working for Habitat for Humanity, I started working with BEE Consulting. It was while working there that I gained all the green building credentials I currently hold. My goal as a green building verifier with BEE is to try and demystify and simplify green construction for the builders and developers that we work with.
