Rob Hammon has over 20 years of experience in energy-efficient design and construction. He has pioneered energy efficiency as a market driver for quality construction, and market-driven, voluntary energy-efficiency programs. He is responsible for quality-construction protocols for insulation, air sealing, windows, and heating, cooling and ventilation systems. He has also developed builder protocols for use and installation of residential photovoltaic systems.
Rob has had primary responsibility for developing and delivering the nationally recognized Builder Energy Code Training Program provided by the Building Industry Institute. Rob and his company, ConSol, were the technical consultants to CBIA during the last 3 energy code updates. Most recently, Rob has been training buildings and building departments on the changes to Title 24 as a result of AB 970. ConSol has been involved in the building industry at the local, state and national levels since 1981 and continues to assist the building industry in finding cost effective methods to comply with state energy codes. In 1997 ConSol won the Energy Star Home Ally of the Year award. Southern Nevada Home Builders Association named Rob as their Associate of the Year in 1997.
Under Dr. Hammon's guidance, ConSol has recently been awarded contracts with the U.S. Department of Energy to work on their Building America and Zero Energy Home programs. For the Building America program, Rob has assembled an extensive team called the Building Industry Research Alliance who will work to help production builders build homes 40% to 70% more efficient than typical new homes. The goal of the Zero Energy Home program is to be building communities by 2010 that generate as much energy as they consume. Rob currently has four builders building communities that are well on their way toward this goal.
