Our capacity is just right.
Amanda Bogner
Founder | PresidentAmanda, founder and president, went to KU for Architectural Engineering (Rock Chalk Jayhawk) and believes beautiful architecture is inherently sustainable. Her passion is to make beautiful buildings energy efficient too. When the weather cooperates, you can find her cycling or cross country skiing.
Amanda is a registered mechanical engineer and is a certified ASHRAE building energy modeling professional (BEMP). Passionate about architecture and sustainability, she is responsible for providing her clients meaningful energy modeling analysis.
She has extensive experience in energy analysis and possesses an extremely strong understanding of energy codes, energy modeling procedures, and the LEED certification process. Her representative project list highlights her ability to work on highly complex projects. Since founding ENERGY STUDIO in 2010, she has provided energy analysis services for over 60 million gross square feet of built space.
From April 2011 to April 2016, Amanda served on the USGBC’s Energy & Atmosphere Technical Advisor Group (TAG) where she advised and made recommendations on the direction of the LEED Rating System as it relates to LEEDv4 and the energy and atmosphere credit category. She currently is an elected official on the Omaha Public Power District board of directors where she is responsible for developing policies that are leading to a net-zero carbon future for the Omaha community.
