Building-performance lead for design-build firm New Frameworks, Mike Xenakis is an energy auditor, building analyst, and building-envelope specialist who works primarily with carbon-storing materials. He also designs and installs balanced fresh-air systems in homes. For Mike, environmental catastrophe and the lack of resilient shelter are major motivators to building better buildings and sharing lessons learned.
