As the Passive House lead for North America, Cody oversees all projects pursuing Passive House building certification through the Passive House Institute (PHI) or Passive House Institute US (Phius). He also works on efforts pursuing Zero Carbon Building Standard certification and trains colleagues on Passive House design principles.
Cody often serves as a building enclosures consultant, designing high-performance building enclosures and helping builders execute the design onsite. Additionally, he’s the inventor of Akira Window Connection and Akira Shade Connection. These systems provide a thermal bridge free connection of windows, doors, and external shades and, thus, don’t add to heat loss to the external façade.
When he isn’t helping deliver more efficient buildings, Cody enjoys spending time outdoors, exploring new places on his paddle board, surfing, snowboarding, and improving his golf swing for the last 30-plus years.
