About
Marlena Praprost is a leading researcher in building energy efficiency and decarbonization, with a focus on characterizing the U.S. building stock to inform national climate strategies. Her most influential work, the "U.S. Building Stock Characterization Study: A National Typology for Decarbonizing U.S. Buildings," published in 2021 and 2022, has garnered a combined 34 citations and serves as a cornerstone for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Building Construction Collaborative. In this study, Praprost developed a comprehensive national typology of buildings, enabling targeted retrofits and policy interventions to reduce carbon emissions across the sector. Her contributions provide a critical framework for understanding the diverse characteristics of U.S. buildings—such as age, size, and energy use—allowing stakeholders to prioritize decarbonization efforts effectively. By bridging data analysis with actionable insights, Praprost’s work empowers researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals to accelerate the transition to a sustainable built environment. Her achievements highlight her role as a key figure in advancing building science and climate solutions.
