Athienitis is a Professor of Building Engineering and holds a Research Chair in Integration of Solar Energy Systems into Buildings and a NSERC/Hydro Quebec Industrial Chair at Concordia University, Montreal. He is the Scientific Director of the Canadian NSERC Smart Net-zero Energy Buildings Strategic Research Network (20112016) and the founding Director of the NSERC Solar Buildings Research Network (20052010). He was a sub-task co-leader for IEA SHC Task 40/EBC Annex 52 (Towards Net-Zero Energy Solar Buildings). He is author of more than 200 refereed papers and several books and book chapters in solar buildings and building energy systems. Prof. Athienitis is a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering and a contributing author of the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC).

Dr. William O'Brien is an Assistant Professor in the Architectural Conservation and Sustainability Engineering program at Carleton University, Ottawa. He is the principal investigator of the Human Building Interaction Laboratory, which consists of a multidisciplinary team of researchers that are designing buildings and building controls that incorporate human factors. He has published over 40 peer-reviewed papers. He was a sub-task co-leader for IEA SHC Task 40/EBC Annex 52 (Towards Net-Zero Energy Solar Buildings) and now, IEA EBC Annex 66 (Definition and Simulation of Occupant Behavior in Buildings).

Samson Yip is a Senior Architect at Saia Barbarese Topouzanov Architects in Montreal specializing in institutional architecture. He is completing a Master of Applied Science (Building Engineering) degree at Concordia University, Montreal, within the Canadian NSERC Smart Net-zero Energy Buildings Strategic Research Network.
