Prior to that, he conducted his doctoral studies at the EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland and his master’s degree at the University of Alberta, and he worked for several years in a structural consulting firm in Edmonton spe- cializing primarily in institutional building design. His research focuses on various issues related to steel and aluminum structures, including fatigue performance, connection design, and pedestrian-induced vi- bration design. His research employs a broad range of tools, including: fracture mechanics, structural reliability, and life-cycle cost analysis and laboratory testing. He is currently the Director of Waterloo’s new Architectural Engineering program

Research suggested that CVR provided energy savings and areduction in peak demand but development came to a halt due to lack of funding [3].A report about the effects of CVR on a national level was published by the Pacific NorthwestNational Laboratory (PNNL) in 2010. The study found that implementing CVR on everydistribution feeder in the United States will provide a 3.04% reduction in annual energyconsumption.
