Area of Expertise
Chris is leading the development of an interdisciplinary initiative in sustainable design in the Division of Design & Merchandising at West Virginia University. His interest in sustainable design and green building was aroused and honed during his 9.5 years as Executive Director of Mon County Habitat for Humanity in Morgantown, West Virginia. With an on-the-job education in sustainable design and a desire to lessen his impact on the environment, Haddox has become Green Advantage Certified and obtained his LEED Professional Accreditation. Both organizations promote sustainability, green building practices and principles. He now hopes to inspire students to increase their knowledge of sustainability and green design. He stresses that there isn’t a right or a wrong way to use green design because it will vary from project to project; however, he wants to make sure students have a full pallet of tools enabling them to make informed decisions.
