Dr. Kwesi Daniels
Head of Architecture, Tuskegee University
Dr. Daniels' professional experiences range across various disciplines, including affordable housing, historic preservation, architecture, sustainability management, and urban geography. He previously served as the Green Homes Coordinator for the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency. Within this capacity, he managed the “greening” of over 43 multifamily buildings consisting of over 4,000 affordable housing units throughout the state. This work consisted of implementing renewable energy programs, energy efficiency retrofits, energy benchmarking, and green finance products, which developers could use to improve the sustainable performance of the properties. His experiences there provided the foundation upon which he does his current work.
