About
Andrew Speake is a leading researcher at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) whose work is central to the decarbonization of the U.S. building stock. His primary research areas include building energy efficiency, building stock characterization, and the development of scalable pathways for reducing carbon emissions from the built environment. Speake’s major contribution is the creation of a national building typology, a foundational framework that categorizes the diverse U.S. building stock to identify the most effective strategies for deep energy retrofits and zero-carbon construction. This work, published in two highly cited reports (2021 and 2022, with a combined 34 citations), directly supports the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Building Construction Collaborative. By providing a data-driven, standardized approach to understanding building characteristics, Speake’s research enables policymakers, utilities, and industry stakeholders to prioritize interventions and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon future. His efforts are instrumental in bridging the gap between building science and real-world deployment, making him a key figure in the national push for building decarbonization.
