Created in 1988, the North Carolina Solar Center originally focused on solar energy. Over the years, the “Solar Center” has grown and expanded and serves as a clearinghouse for renewable energy programs, information, research, technical assistance, and training for the citizens of North Carolina and beyond.

As a solar energy extension specialist for the N.C. Solar Center, I led the Passive Solar Buildings Program and conducted public education outreach in passive solar architecture, environmental building design, green building technology, energy analysis and daylighting simulation. I also programmed the Center’s first website in ColdFusion, developed intranet information databases, produced technical and consumer publications and led professional training workshops. In cooperation with the NC Agricultural and Industrial Extension Services and international, national, state and local renewable energy and green building associations, I helped coordinated statewide seminars, solar home tours and conferences.

My work as a policy analyst was for the National Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy project (DSIRE) - a national clearinghouse for consumers and industry on utility, state and local government renewable energy incentives, loans and grants funded by the U.S. Depart of Energy and Interstate Renewable Energy Council. I oversaw the research, analysis and authoring of two staff policy researchers and presented policy research papers at national renewable energy conferences. Using multiphase surveys and online resources, I researched and documented policies and produced comprehensive national reports for consumers and industry. I also developed an online policy website in ColdFusion that delivered policy search, summary data and resource links to the public.

As the program manager of the Energy Efficient Affordable Housing Program, I edited construction specifications, designed home plans, and produced homeowner information kits. I also organized training events for volunteer organizations and local agencies in energy efficient and affordable rehabilitation and new home construction.
