High-Performance Green Buildings, created by the Energy
Independence & Security Act of 2007, in the US General
Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service.
Mr.
Kampschroer has been leading GSA’s activities in response to the
2005 and 2007 Energy Bills & Executive Order on the
Environment, Sustainability & Energy Conservation. He has
worked on developing new energy conservation legislation, in
expanding the scope of sustainable design and training, as well as
the creation of rigorous environmental management
system.
Recently,
focusing on the relationships among the physical environment,
individual and group behavior and organizational performance, Mr.
Kampschroer developed a framework—of building + behavior +
business—tested in real office conditions, that is unique.
His research team’s goal is a fundamental re-thinking of the
practice of workplace making. To support this ground-breaking
effort, he has forged alliances with key forward-thinking
companies, and developed collaborations with leading universities,
including Carnegie Mellon, University of California at Berkeley,
Georgia Tech, University of Michigan and MIT, as well as with the
Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency.
GSA’s research focuses on finding practical ways to deploy and
capitalize on emerging technologies, and measure the applied
results.
In creating
the WorkPlace 20•20 program, Mr. Kampschroer and his team have
applied all the research completed to date, together with best
practices in the field to create a new process that emphasizes
organizational performance before design.
Before
establishing PBS’ research and workplace innovations initiatives,
Mr. Kampschroer served in a variety of GSA regional and
headquarters positions. He contributed to the creation of
real estate portfolio management; the establishment of performance
measures linked to pay and budget and developed; and an overall
information technology strategy for a re-engineered real estate

Reagan Federal Building and Trade Center, then the second largest
office building in the United States. GSA has employed him
since 1975. Mr. Kampschroer is a graduate of Yale
University.
Mr.
Kampschroer has lectured at Harvard, MIT, Johns Hopkins, Stanford
and Georgia Institute of Technology and frequently presents for
various industry groups such as CoreNet Global. He has been

of California at Berkeley), and the recipient of the IIDA’s Star
