BIO

Mr. Glassman is the Building Performance Group Leader with CannonDesign. He obtained his Bachelor of Architecture from the New Jersey Institute of Technology and a Master of Design Studies in Sustainable Design from the Harvard Graduate School of Design. In 17 years of combined professional practice as an architect and sustainability consultant, Mr. Glassman has worked on various projects around the world, each requiring a unique response to a diverse set of climatic, site, and programmatic conditions. His main area of expertise is passive building design for energy, daylight, and comfort. Other areas of expertise include water efficiency and renewable energy.

Mr. Glassman’s focus is combining computational design techniques with performance simulation to inform the design process. These computational techniques help identify integrated design solutions that improve the performance of the built environment and provide deep insights to achieve a wide range of intended project outcomes. He has given presentations on utilizing computational design for building performance at conferences such as Greenbuild, the International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA), Advancing Computational Building Design (ACBD), and the Architecture Boston eXpo (ABX). He teaches classes on building performance at Columbia University and Pratt Institute.
