David Kaneda is a seasoned professional with over 40 years of experience designing electrical systems. As a licensed electrical engineer and architect, he offers a unique perspective on the rapidly evolving strategies for designing cutting-edge, eco-friendly electrical systems for buildings. x000D x000D His current focus includes areas such as cost effectively electrifying existing buildings, designing buildings to support the grid, minimizing carbon emissions caused by buildings, developing innovative applications for PV/battery microgrids, design of resilient buildings, deploying all-electric kitchens, developing innovative EV charging and V2B concepts, integrating daylight and electric lighting systems, deploying smart electrical panels and using building scale hydrogen electrolysis and hydrogen fuel cells for standby power. x000D x000D David is a GSA - Peer Professional, a Fellow in the AIA, a LEED Fellow, a Senior Fellow at the New Buildings Institute, and serves on AIA California's Climate Action Committee. He also chaired GSA's - Green Building Advisory Committee and served on California's Green Building Code Advisory Committee. He has designed over 50 - net zero energy buildings, including the IDeAs Z Squared office; the first Net Zero Energy commercial office in the United States in 2005. He has led the electrical design for dozens of LEED Platinum, Well Building, CHPS and Living Building Challenge certified projects, as well as 11 - AIA COTE Top 10 Award winners. Notable projects including the Packard Foundation, 435 Indio Way, the Sonoma Academy - Janet Durgin Guild and Commons, Google Bay View, Microsoft's Silicon Valley Campus, the Venter Institute - La Jolla Campus and a resilient 1.3MW PV array and 1.25 MW/5.0 MWh battery microgrid for a confidential client. x000D x000D David believes that the building industry needs to rapidly transition to building high performance, all-electric, green buildings and electrifying existing buildings that burn fossil fuels. He is committed both to taking a leadership role in developing innovative, electrical system designs as well as teaching others how to replicate successful sustainable design strategies. To that end, he freely shares his expertise with others and has presented over 100 times at regional, national and international conferences, lectured at leading universities and published articles on sustainable electrical system design.
