Jonathan Landry is the founder and CEO of ChaAC I+N+C, he leads a team of building performance specialists, ESG consultants, and green building certification consultants who are passionate about improving the urban environment. With over seven years of experience in the green construction industry, he has developed a strong expertise in whole building simulation, advanced HVAC design, optimizing energy efficiency, interior and exterior thermal comfort, and documentation for LEED certification.
His mission is to promote the use of modeling from project inception to construction, and to make digital twins the center of an integrative building process. He uses specialized software such as IESVE, SketchUp, One Click LCA, ANSYS, and Pointwise to perform various computational simulations, such as BEM, CFD, LCA, daylighting and glare modeling. He also applied passive methods to achieve net-zero carbon buildings, and CFD modeling of pollutant and smoke dispersion.
