D. Drew Bond
Senior Advisor
U.S. Department of Energy
Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy

Building Energy Equity for Today and Tomorrow

Description:
Learn what and where the Department of Energy/Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (DOE/EERE) is budgeting and spending for the development and growth of green building, energy efficiency, and renewable energy for our build environment. Discover how that affects your projects and how to best work with these DOE initiatives.

BIOGRAPHY:
D. Drew Bond was appointed by President George W. Bush as a Senior Advisor at the U.S. Department of Energy within the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.  As a part of the commercialization and deployment team, Mr. Bond is focused on identifying and addressing opportunities to accelerate the time between when energy efficient and renewable technologies are researched and developed to when they are introduced and sufficiently scaled up into the marketplace.

Mr. Bond brings a breadth and depth of public and private, profit and non-profit experience to U.S. Department of Energy. 

His time in the private sector encompasses a diversity of experiences, including: President & CEO of Townhall.com, a start-up company in Washington, DC; a partner in Aiken Bond Development, a small, high-end real-estate development company in Alabama; Chief-of-Staff of The Heritage Foundation, a non-profit conservative “think-tank” in Washington, DC; a Healthcare Sales Representative for Pfizer, in Charlotte, NC; and a brief stint at Burson-Marsteller in Washington, DC, an international public relations firm.

Mr. Bond began his public sector experience in Washington, DC as a legislative aide to U.S. Senator Don Nickles (R-OK), where he was responsible for a number of public policy issues including banking, campaign finance reform, education, labor, Social Security and welfare reform.  Later returning to his home state of Oklahoma, he served as Chief-of-Staff to Oklahoma Corporation Commissioner Denise Bode, with a focus on regulating the state’s energy resources.

Born in Texas and raised primarily in Oklahoma, Mr. Bond graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelor of Arts in History.  He now resides with his wife and three children in Arlington, VA.  Together, they are active in their church and community, including serving as a foster care family for young neglected and abused children.

“Digital Cities”: The Future of BIM and Sustainable Design at a Community and City Scale

Description:
Today, we continue to see increased demand and democratization for information moving from 2D to 3D, to 4D and beyond, but how will we envision and engage BIM, Geospatial, Analysis, Visualization and Collaboration tools in the future? How can we work in a more informed, integrated and visual way, while maintaining the security and integrity of our designs, our data and our decisions? How will owners, agencies, businesses and the public interface with this process and information as it becomes more valuable and more available? How will the people, the policies, the projects and the tools come together to help us better plan, design, construct and maintain a more sustainable world? This presentation will look into the future of sustainability for our professions, our passions and our communities. It will examine the general state of design technology today and offer a glimpse of what is yet to come as we look beyond BIM for a single project and consider it at the community or city scale.
