Event presented by Reimagine Buildings Collective
Tuesday, February 24th, from 12pm-1pm eastern (Virtual)
For this episode of Reimagine Design, Michael Ingui interviews Kritika Kharbanda on her team's work with projects across multiple geographies, climates, scales, and typologies, including higher education facilities and schools, cultural and civic buildings, labs, offices, mixed-use projects, and masterplans.
A lively Q&A will follow the interview.
About Kritika Kharbanda, Head of Sustainability at Henning Larsen and Building Science Commitee Co-Chair at AIA NY
Kritika Kharbanda leads the sustainability initiatives for Henning Larsen's global team. Her passion, training, and experience lie at the intersection of architecture, sustainability and technology, arming her to develop and inform sustainability goals and concepts as part of strategic visioning, programming, and the earliest phases of design. Her skillset ranges from energy and carbon benchmarking for life cycle, indoor environmental quality mapping, and urban analysis like microclimate and thermal comfort, alongwith other computational workflows for evidence-based design. She also supports projects targeting LEED, Living Building Challenge, WELL and other certifications.
Kritika received her Masters in Design with specialization in Energy and Environments from Harvard with cross-enrollment at MIT, and was a Social Innovation and Change Initiative Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School. Her commitments within the broader building science community include contributing to the global Carbon Leadership Forum, International Building Performance Simulation Association(IBPSA), and local carbon-focused policy efforts in Boston and New York City. Kritika is also on the advisory board for Pathways, a climate-tech seed-stage startup using AI for downstream emission reduction.
