- Bio
- Victoria Kiechel, AIA and LEED AP BD+C, ID+C, O+M, Homes, ND, is a practicing architect and native Washingtonian. It’s no wonder that her courses in Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s Global Environmental Politics Program always include a real-world, local project in sustainable design. When not in the classroom at SIS or the architectural studio, Vicky works for the Cadmus Group LLC, an environmental consultancy. At Cadmus she has led research work for the Appalachian Regional Commission, sustainability consulting for the Smithsonian Institution, and consulting and review teams for projects seeking LEED certification. She worked for the U.S. Green Building Council on LEED v.3, and has advised the U.S. EPA’s ENERGY STAR commercial and industrial branch as Higher Education sector lead on issues ranging from energy benchmarking to curriculum development and workforce training in energy efficiency. Vicky was the first-ever recipient of Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s Most Innovative Green Teacher of the Year award.
