Eric Bonnema has been at NREL since 2008 and contributes to the research efforts for commercial buildings. This effort is dedicated to studying the behavior of low-energy buildings both on the design side as well as the performance side. Bonnema is interested in energy modeling of buildings and software development for building optimization and modeling. His research focus includes sector-wide energy modeling, Advanced Energy Design Guides, and the 179D U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Calculator. He specializes in software development for building optimization and modeling, commercial sector whole-building energy simulation, scientific computing, and software configuration and package management.
Prior to joining NREL, Bonnema was an applications engineer designing air-cooled steam condensers for coal and combined-cycle power plants. Bonnema holds a master's degree from Colorado State University specializing in energy and the environment. He is also a registered Engineering Intern in Colorado.
