EUF Staff - Maggie Pinckard
Maggie Pinckard is a Principal Research Associate at LBNL. She has a BS in Environmental Studies with an emphasis in Energy and Policy from San Jose State. She is the primary web programmer for the Home Energy Saver and Home Energy Advisor websites, developed as support for the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star Program. Both of these websites allow residential energy consumers to estimate energy usage by various end uses in their house. The Home Energy Saver has a more detailed set of input questions, which allows you to model the energy consumption of a wider range of appliances and home characteristics, while the Advisor uses a simpler set of inputs, concentrating on showing side by side comparisons of a variety of retrofit options for a particular house. In addition Maggie is the webmaster for the End-Use Forecasting group, and offers web support for multiple research projects at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, as well as participating in formal research tasks. Previous tasks have included field research on after-hours power status of US office equipment, brochure design for the Energy Star Homes program and computer simulations modeling the impact of efficiency improvement in HVAC equipment. She has also served as a residential energy auditor and energy efficiency specialist for Pacific Gas and Electric utility. On a personal note, she enjoys expressing herself through the arts, has studied classical voice for more years than she can remember, and plays the harp as part of the harp duo Woad. She loves to make things and is constantly involved in crafts, such as beading, quiltmaking, stained glass, making silk ribbon roses, silk ribbon embroidery and whatever else strikes her whimsey. In her copious spare time, she also breeds show quality goldfish and Somali cats and is slowly remodeling her house.
