Z achary Gustafson, EIT
Zack Gustafson is an engineer with a unique background and a deep knowledge base of all things
mechanical. His ability to puzzle through difficult problems makes him an invaluable contributor to
complicated building projects, often by finding elusive but simple solutions. In addition to being a
capable and clever system designer, he provides building simulation, energy auditing, and
commissioning services. In his previous work as an acoustical engineer, Zack developed consumer
products including microphone and audio systems and was named on four patents. Part of Zack s
practical knowledge of mechanical systems comes from his experience as Facility Manager of a
remote lodge with 15 buildings. His skills also include engine repair, bicycle and motorcycle
construction, data/wifi/phone systems, off-grid living, and other assorted wizardry.
