Maureen leads LHB’s Climate Solutions Studio, whose work informs policies, guidelines, and programs to improve the built environment’s impact on natural resources, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate equity. She also co-manages several programs, including Minnesota Buildings, Benchmarks, and Beyond (B3), a suite of tools for sustainable design, and the Regional Indicators Initiative, an effort to engage communities in actionable strategies for energy and greenhouse gas reduction.
