CEA - Regulations, Sustainability, and Engineering With Sam LaMontanaro

CEA - Regulations, Sustainability, and Engineering With Sam LaMontanaro

Today’s guest is Sam Lamontanaro, a Director of Engineering of Aufgang Architects. We dive into the challenges of sustainability, discussing New York's push for electrification and the ditching of fossil fuels, which will probably get to other states as well. So, from the next decade’s energy-efficient designs and water storage to the value of a PE license for it, we cover it all here! 😉


Tune in to Learn:

  • The advantage of growing up with a family with the same interest

  • How do architecture and engineering work together?

  • New York’s law 097 to reduce carbon footprints in buildings (and by when)

  • The challenge of electrifying buildings and removing fossil fuels

  • The impact of obtaining a Professional Engineer license

  • How should you go about mentoring young engineers?

  • The importance of field experience to gaining insights you don’t get from a book

  • The challenges of balancing sustainable designs and reasonable costs
