Jodi Smits Anderson is the Director of Sustainability Programs for DASNY, an architect, LEED AP BD+C, WELL-AP, AIA member, NESEA Board member, past regional and national U.S. Green Building Council committee member, wife, mom, hiker, kayaker, knitter, and storyteller.

She is a NY Energy Code trainer, the 2018 recipient of the Green Building Advocate award, and has assisted in research and writing for Project Drawdown, which cites the 100 market-proven ways we already have in our toolkit to reduce CO2 in our atmosphere. She had a featured article appearing in the Journal of Green Building's V14 N3 in July of 2019, on “Excellence in Building Envelopes”, and is working on ultra-low energy achievement, approaching ZNE, in existing residence halls in order to inform and change how we do renovation projects in New York State. Jodi’s goal is to understand and incorporate informed sustainable practices into design, construction, and living, and to share whatever she has learned and learn still more from whomever will talk with her.
