Tanya is the CEO of Community Energy Labs (CEL) a woman-owned and led energy technology company with a mission to enable affordable decarbonization of community buildings by 2030. Barham has decades of experience guiding building-integrated energy technologies from infancy to wide-scale deployment. One of the most similar to CEL was AirCarePlus®, a product that took an HVAC diagnostics software from field trials to full utility-scale commercial deployment for Southern California Edison (SCE). The technology was bundled with mechanical service contracts and eventually also adopted by Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), Commonwealth Edison, and Nicor Gas. Barham co-authored the GridWise Architecture Council’s Smart Buildings as a Transactive Energy Hub and Transactive Energy 101. She is a 2021 IMPEL+ Innovator (a program funded by the DOE’s Building Technologies Office and implemented by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory).
