1. “ Sustainable buildings are partners with their site
and community and climate. They respond to
the variability of sunlight and its heat, of wind’s
power to ventilate, of rainfall’s scarcity or excess.
They give building occupants the choice and
the knowledge of how to adjust their buildings
in the face of this climate variability. They are
made of materials and techniques that cause
minimal environmental strain in their production,
transport, and usage. They are designed for
energy efficiency and for resilience in the face of
a changing climate as well as changing building
usage. They beautifully represent architecture as
a performing art.”

SYMPOSIUMMay 16–17, 2015 | University of Oregon | Eugene, Oregon
John S. Reynolds, faia
Professor Emeritus, Department of Architecture,
University of Oregon
For more than 45 years John Reynolds has been
interested in how people use energy in buildings
and how buildings shape that energy usage.
He has taught both architecture design and
environmental control systems at the University
of Oregon since 1967.
Reynolds is coauthor of Mechanical and Electrical
Equipment for Buildings, sixth through 11th
editions, published by John Wiley & Sons,
and transformed the widely used textbook
into a reference on sustainability practices.
John received a teaching Fulbright grant to
Argentina in 1988 where he taught “Arquitectura
Bioclimatica” in Spanish. His investigations
into courtyard buildings led to a grant from the
Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the
Fine Arts in 1995–96. This resulted in Courtyards:
Aesthetic, Social, and Thermal Delight, published
in 2002.
John Reynolds received the American Solar
Energy Society’s Passive Pioneer Award in
1997, and was elected a fellow in 2000. He
then served as chair of the ASES board. He
was named distinguished professor by the
Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture
in 1998, the first Oregon faculty member to
be so honored. He was also named a fellow of
the American Institute of Architects in 2003.
The Cascadia Region of the US Green Building
Council honored Reynolds as an honorary fellow
in 2009.
He is currently on the Board of the nonprofit
Energy Trust of Oregon, based in Portland,
where he served as board president for the
past five years. Reynolds is the only one of the
original board members still serving.
