Ryan E. Smith is the Director of I TAC: Integrated Technology in Architecture Center. The mission of the research center is to to promote integration in architecture that works to flatten the process and product technology that lead to sustainable and lean design and construction practice. Smith's research includes analyzing the integration process, players and collaborations including the use of BIM, energy, and lifecycle simulation. In addition, Smith develops, tests, and monitors existing and emergent holistic integrated technology products (varied in scale) for zero energy buildings and applies these to practice through university ~ industry collaborations and demonstration projects. His work in the center has been funded by institutions including FEMA, UTA, AISC, UofU, and DOE. Smith is a graduate of the University of Arizona and UC Berkeley.
