Adam R Rendek

Adam Rendek moved to San Francisco to pursue his career in design and construction after graduating from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics with a master's degree in architecture and building engineering. He has worked on numerous large projects, both in Europe and the United States, including the Palace of Arts in Budapest—recipient of the 2006 FIABCI Prix d'Excellence—and the UCSF Mission Bay Hospital project in San Francisco. In addition to his professional work, he taught a lecture series on digital presentation and building information modeling at U.C. Berkeley in 2005 and 2006. Adam also worked on a research project that explores optimization opportunities in the energy modeling workflow and developed solutions to build life cycle and operations management in the past 3 years. He published several papers on building information modeling (BIM) and energy modeling and presented at a major conference in the United States and Europe. He is currently working on the BIM implementation of a large public organization (San Francisco International Airport) on behalf of DPR Consulting. His responsibilities include client stakeholder engagement as well as the development of technology implementation strategies. Adam collaborated with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories in a research project, identifying optimal data exchange for energy modeling purposes. He was a consultant for IDEO, Adobe Systems, Autodesk, and Graphisoft on product development for the AEC industry.
