Jeremy Faludi is a product designer, engineer, and researcher, working to introduce green theories into the real world.

He is a consultant, currently working with Rocky Mountain Institute and Janine Benyus, as well as doing conventional design and engineering for other clients. In the past he has worked for Chorus Motors and Applications Team at Lawrence Berkeley National Labs. His works can be seen at http://www.faludidesign.com. Jeremy has spoken at conferences, schools, and businesses around the world, including the Doors of Perception conference in New Delhi, the IEEE's International Electric Machines and Drives Conference in Texas, the Better World Business Forum in Paris, a National Library of Medicine conference in Washington D.C., Antioch University in Seattle, Arup in San Francisco, and Technische Universiteit Delft in the Netherlands. Before getting his M.S. in product design at Stanford, he got his B.S. in physics at Reed College, then spent some time in the semiconductor industry. In his spare time, he writes for “Worldchanging.”

While at the Rocky Mountain Institute, Jeremy worked on the initial design of RMI's Biomimicry database. He also continued the work Amber Kerr began. Amber researched biological solutions to building industry challenges identified as particularly problematic. Jeremy worked on ways to turn those biological solutions into green building product ideas. RMI hopes his work on one product concept in particular will turn into a real, marketable product with the potential to revolutionize all kinds of dehumidification applications. His work will also be a wonderful case study about how biomimicry can influence design, resulting in huge energy savings and reduction in pollution and global warming effects.


"Bringing these terrifically qualified, enthusiastic young people to help on our research projects has made a remarkable impact on our research. In fact, it has been the impetus for all of our subsequent success at funding and execution of these particular research projects. This is because the research is cutting edge and we needed some idea development time to develop the projects, before we could seek foundation support. We really appreciate MAP's giving us the freedom to do this and we are thrilled with the successful results that are unfolding."
