David B. Belzer is a staff economist at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) where he has been employed since 1977. He received his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Maryland in 1978. Based upon his academic training in macroeconomic and input-output forecasting models of the U.S. economy, he was involved in a series of studies for the Federal Emergency Management Agency during the 1980s that focused upon the defense mobilization preparedness of U.S industry. Much of his more recent work at PNNL has involved energy and economic analysis of commercial buildings. In the early 1990s, Dr. Belzer directed the development of estimates of end-use energy consumption for several national samples of commercial buildings. In addition to analysis of commercial equipment efficiency standards, Dr. Belzer is currently working on several software tools to assess the potential benefits of updated commercial building standards.
