Justin McCarty

Justin holds a Bachelor of the Arts degree from Dickinson College in Environmental Studies and a Master of Architecture degree from The University of British Columbia. His undergraduate research was concerned with an analysis of technology transfer mechanisms under the global climate change treaty. After his undergraduate career, he worked in the Western USA, designing small homes for clients with off-grid needs. His graduate research concerned building design given climate change uncertainty, residential retrofit policy in British Columbia, and urban-scale scenario studies of the building envelope, morphology, and energy systems.

Justin joined the A/S team in June 2021 as a doctoral student. His research concerns the study of Building Integrated Photovoltaics at the scale of the urban system. Connecting with a rich base of interdisciplinary research, industry knowledge, and existing BIPV projects, Justin will focus his work on enhancing the understanding of urban BIPV design and deployment through data-driven methods with a sensitivity to regional conditions.
