During his 20-plus years as a licensed architect\, he specialized in energy efficient design and completed over 100 residential projects. He has served on the national Steering Committees for USGBC’s LEED for Homes\, NAHB’s Green Builder Guidelines\, and U.S. EPA’s Water Sense and Indoor airPLUS labels. Mr. Rashkin is a published author and has been recognized for his contributions to sustainable housing with the 2012 Hanley Award and 2019 EEBA Legend Award.\n\n\n\n\nThank you to our presenting sponsor\, Energy Trust of Oregon with additional support from E2 Solar\, Miller Lumber\, Saginaw Sunset\, Stemach Design + Architecture\, and Earth Advantage.
