BIO: Philip Fairey
 

Philip Fairey is Deputy Director of the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC).  He graduated from Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina, with a BA in Architecture in 1969 and a Master's degree in City and Regional Planning in 1975.

 

In 1980, Mr. Fairey initiated the building science research program at FSEC.  He conceived and developed the Florida Building Energy-Efficiency Rating System and led the development of EnergyGauge, a user-friendly, windows-based software tool for code compliance, energy ratings and economic analysis. He also initiated and led the development of the FSEC 3.0 building simulation software research tool.  In addition to his expertise in computer simulation and modeling, he has extensive experimental and analytical expertise in the fields of moisture transport and control, pressure and air flow control, indoor air quality (IAQ), building envelope systems, cooling and dehumidification systems, natural ventilation systems, energy-efficient building design, industrialized housing systems, utility Demand Side Management (DSM) and building energy-efficiency rating systems.
 
As a member of ASHRAE, Mr Fairey has served as Chair of TC 4.9 on Building Envelope Systems and is currently serving on SPC 140, "Standard Method of Test for the Evaluation of Building Energy Analysis Computer Programs." He has also served as a member of ASTM C-16, where he chaired the Task Group that developed ASTM Standard C-1158 on Radiant Barrier Systems.  He is a founding member of the Florida Green Building Coalition (FGBC).

 

Mr. Fairey is author or co-author of 4 books and more than 80 technical articles, research reports and general information documents. He has been featured on CNN and CBS News and on 3 Educational TV programs of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.  He received the National Award for Innovation in Research from the U.S. Department of Energy in 1984 and the University of Central Florida's highest award for research in 1987.  He has testified before the U.S. Congress and the Florida Legislature, and occasionally serves as an expert witness on matters of building forensics and has been qualified by the Courts as a Building Science Expert.
