Kevin Mo

Kevin Mo is a Senior Sustainable Building Specialist for NRDC and is currently working in Beijing, China. He joined NRDC in 2008 and moved to our Beijing office in early 2009. But his connection with NRDC started as early as in year 1999, when he participated in the study workshops for China’s first green building demonstration project led by NRDC. Prior to NRDC, he worked with NAHB Research Center for six years as a researcher focusing on residential buildings and managing an energy efficiency housing award program under Department of Energy’s Building America program. He earned my Ph.D. in Building Performance at Carnegie Mellon University and focused on intelligent buildings and commercial buildings. After studying America’s commercial and residential buildings for 12 years, he’s glad to move back to Beijing, where he received his master’s degree and taught building science in Tsinghua University.
