Jean-François Landry is a mechanical engineer with over a decade of experience in energy efficiency and sustainable building design. He holds a bachelor’s in mechanical engineering from École Polytechnique de Montréal and a master’s in building science from Toronto Metropolitan University and currently leads the energy and sustainability department at DWB Consultants. His work spans energy modelling, decarbonization strategy, building automation systems, and life cycle assessment, with a long list of certifications to match, including LEED AP, WELL AP, CEM, CMVP, BEMP and 50001 CP. He also completed the advanced course on existing building commissioning (EBCx). Jean-Francois works with a wealth of clients, including residential, commercial, institutional, industrial and in the mining sector.
What drives Jean-François is a genuine passion for solving persistent and complex problems. He's equally comfortable diving into simulation software or collaborating on-site with contractors and clients, and he's even explored how artificial intelligence can be used to optimize building systems — the subject of his master’s research. He is comfortable navigating with most building automation systems (BAS), and he contributes to ASHRAE TC 1.4, to continuously improve knowledge around building automation.
Jean-François is passionate about sharing his knowledge with the current and next generation of professionals, through conferences, coaching, guess lectures and webinars. He also provides private training and mentorship on diverse energy and sustainability subjects.
