Jared Landsman joined E3 in 2021 to support the DER group. At E3, Jared works primarily on building electrification and decarbonization, from a technical, policy and economic lens. Jared has developed a number of models to forecast heat pump adoption, on both a regional and national scale, as well as help cities and states understand the consumer and utility impacts of building electrification.  Jared also does work in campus decarbonization, helping universities achieve their net zero emissions targets.

Jared has been passionate about sustainability his whole life and has made it a priority to work for a mission-driven company where he can have a real impact on the world.  He is particularly interested in how to enable equitable electrification and make sure everyone has access to clean energy.

Prior to joining E3, Jared worked at the MEP engineering firm, Integral Group, leading the Building Performance team, with a focus on energy and carbon modeling, policy and guideline development, and demand forecasting. He has extensive experience with building-scale electrification and decarbonization.

Outside of work, Jared enjoys spending time in nature, particularly hiking and skiing up in the mountains.

Education: M.S., Architecture, Building Science, and Sustainability, University of California, Berkeley; B.S., Civil Engineering, Cornell University.

New York City Long-Term Energy Plan | New York City Mayor’s Office of Climate and Environmental Justice, 2022-2023

E3 led a team completing an inclusive, year-long study to identify the policies and programs needed to achieve the New York City’s decarbonization goals. E3’s analysis involved both examining policies and programs to meet the city’s long-term goals as well as providing specific recommendations for actions to be taken during the current administration. The study included eight research branches focused on the performance and cost of heat pumps in new buildings; the affordability of electrification retrofits in rent-regulated housing; the opportunities for electric school bus managed charging and vehicle-to-grid; the potential for in-city wind energy; a screening of public lands for new clean energy development; an assessment of the electric grid readiness for increasing heat pump and EV charging loads; and an evaluation of how bulk energy storage could reduce reliance on in-city fossil generation. Based on E3’s study, New York City published PowerUp NYC, the city’s first Long-Term Energy Plan, which includes 29 clean energy initiatives focused on the city’s energy grid, its buildings, and its transportation sector. Many aspects of the PowerUp NYC, from research topic selection to recommendations, were developed in collaboration with the public, and with the public’s interest at the forefront of the decision-making process. The recommendations of the LTEP are aligned with long-term energy and equity policy mandates from both the city and state and revolve around the needs of NYC residents.

Time-dependent valuation for building codes | CEC, 1999–present

E3 supports the California Energy Commission (CEC) in implementing the state building energy code by maintaining the economic framework for energy standard requirements and allowed trade-offs for new construction. We have worked with the CEC and its stakeholders since 1999 to continually refine a time-dependent valuation (TDV) methodology, and we are now under contract to support the 2025 Title 24 Update. The TDV methodology uses a 30-year forecast of the social cost of energy that varies hourly and by location to account for shifts in system peaks over time, and regional variations in climate and grid utilization. . E3’s initial study investigated a shift to a value-based standard that accounts for the time and geographic differences in energy costs seen in California energy prices, natural gas and propane markets, as well as in the costs of electric utility distribution and transmission systems. TDV was initially adopted in 2005, and E3 supported the updates in 2008, 2013, 2016, 2019, and 2022.
