He is a founding member and past President of the Chicago Passive House Alliance chapter, a founding member of Oak Park’s Climate Action Network, and served for six years on Oak Park’s Historic Preservation Commission. Since 2011 Tom has regularly presented locally and nationally on topics relating to energy efficiency, health, and building science in new and old buildings alike.
