STAFF PROFILE
Amy Barr
Senior Project Manager
 Amy Barr is a
Senior Project Manager at the
Heschong Mahone Group, Inc. with a background in environmental studies,
real estate development, and energy efficiency.
Ms.
Barr manages the implementation and marketing of
HMG’s
utility-sponsored new construction multifamily incentive program.
Her program implementation duties for Pacific Gas & Electric’s
California Multi-Family New Homes (CMFNH) include organizing and
coordinating the reporting, budget, client meetings, staff time,
outreach events, and marketing materials. During her time as Program
Manager, CMFNH has enrolled projects throughout Northern California with
average expected energy efficiency levels more than 23% better than
current Title 24 standards.
Additionally, she managed the day-to-day operations of the Governor’s
Benchmarking Initiative under Executive Order S-20-04, which involved
coordination between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, all
California energy utilities, and over 30 State departments. Ms. Barr’s
work on California’s benchmarking efforts also entails working with the
California Energy Commission, California utilities, the EPA, industry stakeholders, and State law
makers to develop the enabling regulations and accompanying guidelines
for the implementation of AB1103, a California law requiring
benchmarking and disclosure of energy usage data by nonresidential
building owners.
Ms. Barr
also managed the Compliance Research portion of the Codes & Standards
Program Market Assessment Study for Southern California Edison and is
assisting in the completion of a multifamily design guide, case studies,
design brief, and training materials for Pacific Gas & Electric.
Prior to HMG, Ms. Barr was an Emerging
Venture Analyst at the UC Davis Energy Efficiency Center. While there, she was in charge of the UC
Davis West Village Energy Efficiency Project, which was instrumental in
integrating energy efficiency into the 224-acre development. She compiled
a comprehensive report for the University and its developer partners,
providing business plans that detailed how they could best integrate
energy efficiency into their mixed-use, student, and faculty housing
project while still maintaining its affordability. Ms. Barr also worked
on developing models that increase energy efficiency in buildings and
conducted market research for many of the California Lighting Technology
Center’s Lighting California’s Future projects.
Ms. Barr received her MBA from UC Davis
with a concentration in Strategic Development and her BS in Environmental
Studies from Emory University in Atlanta, GA.
