Jacob Dunn

Jacob Dunn’s upbringing in rural Idaho fostered a profound sense of community and environmental stewardship that inspires his work to this day. As a building performance specialist who brings together architecture, science, and sustainability, he explores the link between aesthetics and analytics to create high-performance projects that cultivate a stronger relationship with the natural world. He’s also known for his expertise in mass timber, with deep knowledge of how sustainable and transparent procurement impacts local ecology, regional economies, and global carbon emissions. Whether Jacob is simulating building physics with computational design, collaborating with universities on research initiatives, or working on new life cycle analysis tools for mass timber—his goal is to help redefine the relationship between our buildings and the land and communities they come from.
