About
Stacey Rothgeb is a leading researcher in building stock characterization and decarbonization, with a focused expertise in developing national typologies to guide energy efficiency and emissions reduction strategies for the U.S. building sector. Her most impactful work, conducted in support of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Building Construction (ABC) Collaborative at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), has resulted in two highly cited publications (2021 and 2022) that together have garnered over 30 citations. Rothgeb’s major contribution lies in creating a comprehensive, data-driven framework that categorizes the diverse U.S. building stock, enabling policymakers, engineers, and utilities to target retrofits and new construction for maximum decarbonization impact. This typology serves as a foundational tool for scaling building upgrades, directly addressing one of the nation’s largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Her work is notable for bridging the gap between granular building data and actionable policy, making her a key figure in the push toward a net-zero built environment. Rothgeb’s research continues to shape how researchers and practitioners approach building energy use at a national scale.
