Maggie Kelley Riggins has devoted her career to developing innovative and holistic approaches to understanding and solving gnarly problems faced in the South around equity, climate, and energy. 

Maggie's expertise is navigating complexities around building energy efficiency, workforce development, and stakeholder and community engagement. Maggie believes that we need to understand the "why" behind building efficiency in order to bring it to the widest group possible. 

She leverages looking beyond the traditional dollar and cents justifications of energy savings by focusing on closing housing equity gaps in the Southeast. As the inaugural recipient of DOE's Early Career Award for Excellence in Energy Codes, Maggie currently leads the nation's work in drawing direct connections from building energy codes and standards to racial justice, opening new pathways to achieve affordable, healthy, and sustainable housing for all.
