Mr. Daniel Garofalo, Penn's Environmental Sustainability Coordinator and Senior Facilities Planner, will present the topic:
Daniel Garofalo was appointed the University of Pennsylvania’s first environmental sustainability coordinator and senior facilities planner in 2008, responsible for Penn’s sustainability strategy, including energy conservation, waste management, green buildings, transportation and planning. This coordinator position results from President Amy Gutmann’s signing of the American College and University President’s Climate Commitment in February 2007, which commits Penn to preparing a plan that leads the University towards climate neutrality over the next several years.
Mr. Garofalo is a founding member of the US Green Building Council and current chair of the Delaware Valley Chapter, and he was the founder of Community Design Collaborative, Philadelphia’s pro-bono design center. He has served twice as a Peace Corps volunteer, first in Malawi, in southeastern Africa in 1992-94, where he worked as the architect in charge of design for the capital city of Lilongwe, and in 2005 on a three-month assignment to Sri Lanka, an island in the Indian Ocean, south of India, to assist in disaster recovery after the tsunami. Mr. Garofalo, a LEED-certified architect, has been a planner and architect in Penn’s Facilities and Real Estate Services Division since 2002. He received a bachelor’s degree in architecture from the University of Virginia, a master’s in architecture from Penn’s School of Design and a master’s in government administration from Penn’s Fels Institute of Government.
PASEF luncheons are organized by Nick Kefalides (Infectious Diseases, School of Medicine) and Henry Teune (Political Science).
