Summer Fowler

President

Summer Fowler is a passionate advocate for the intersection of Sustainability and Social Equity. After the large architecture firm, she worked for went under in the 2009 downturn, she founded ecoREAL with the mission to make healthy sustainable buildings accessible for all. She built her Green Canary software after working on a Federal LEED jobsite, and living with the subs on a remote location learning their headache with documentation. Her Lean LEED tools integrate sustainability seamlessly with the design and construction process to ensure every project can optimize their performance goals and ensure a healthy indoor environment. She teaches, leads, and innovates to make healthy sustainable buildings the best investment for the people, the buildings, the environment, and the people it serves. Her triple bottom-line approach has helped owners, including the City, Multnomah County, School Districts, and private owners like the Ritz Carlton, exceed their sustainability and equity goals from non-profits achieving Net Zero, to making the leap from LEED to Well Building. To help all types of projects achieve these she pioneered many programs, including ETO’s Path to Net Zero program to help projects from low-income school districts and affordable housing to push their energy agoals towards achieving the Architecture 2030 challenge, and pursue Well Building synergies despite budget concerns. Summer started the Sustainability and Equity Committee for the Oregon Association of Entrepreneurs 10 years ago before joining the board and continues to be a leader. She worked with Portland Development Commission (now Prosper Portland) build an Equity Exchnage platform in repsonse to their disparity study in 2012, while serving on the AIA board. She also spoke at the GreenBuild Mediterranean Conference in 2015 about the new Value Proposition for Well Building after working in Delos’ office to review the new standard, and starting a Well for All non-profit driven to assure everyone has a healthy built environment to live, learn and thrive.
