Joe Quad

With a background in mechanical engineering and sustainability consulting, Joe now serves as the Technical Manager of the Green Star team at the NZGBC. He helps projects achieve their sustainability targets and develops new standards, including the new Green Star Buildings tool, to continually challenge the construction industry to strive for more environmentally friendly buildings.

After completing his degree in Building Engineering in Montreal, he spent almost a decade working in the consulting roles on a wide range of projects across New Zealand and North America, including what was at the time Canada’s largest Passive House project. Initially focusing on mechanical engineering, his passion for the environment quickly drew him into the world of sustainable building design.
