Anna Hilbruner

Founder & Technical Consultant

Anna Hilbruner’s career in energy efficiency has spanned nearly two decades including experience in commercial and residential buildings. Anna found her passion for efficiency working with rural Alaskan communities upgrading school, city, tribal and church buildings. Anna found a sense of purpose in helping people feel more comfortable, while spending less money and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. When she moved back home to Oregon she went through Oregon Tradeswomen's Pre-Apprenticeship course. Oregon Tradeswoman connected her with a job as an apprentice carpenter conducting residential weatherization upgrades (it was perfect!). She enjoyed exploring and improving residential attics and crawlspaces (really the whole home) as an apprentice carpenter and eventually an energy rater.

 

These days Anna is a technical consultant for energy efficiency programs with expertise in single family home energy modeling. Anna is an Earth Advantage Certified Sustainable Homes professional, and a Building Performance Institute certified Building Analyst Technician and Building Analyst Professional. She has experience with REM/Rate, Ekotrope, Apex, Axis and SnugPro. She is thrilled to be teaching tomorrow's workforce (including at Oregon Tradeswomen) in green building and careers in the energy efficiency industry. In her free time Anna tries to keep up with her garden and two human and three+ creature (chihuahua, hound puppy, cat and fish) babies.
