Tyler Pilet is currently pursing his Ph.D. in Architecture within the High Performance Building group. He studies building envelopes and sustainable policy implementation.  He hopes to mix policy and building science to assist in reduction of carbon emissions by aiding decision makers on a sectorial level rather than focusing on one building at a time.  Tyler collaborates with the Building Technologies Research and Integration Center (BTRIC) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and has participated in production of Building America's Building Science Advisor and ORNL's Building Enclosure Performance Metric projects. 

Prior to coming to Georgia Tech, Tyler completed his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering at Florida State University where he specialized in fluid sciences and heat transfer.  Within the last year of his bachelor's Tyler managed and resided within a off-grid living laboratory, which introduced him to the field of building science.  He has also worked in the areas of data science, cryogenics, computational fluid dynamics, and energy assessments before finding his passion for the building industry.
