Scott Spivak

Scott Spivak serves as President and Principal Building Scientist of Green Collar Crew, a national home performance contracting network.  He has 25 years experience in the residential construction and energy conservation industry and is currently leading Green Collar Crew to become the premier building science, energy consulting and home performance contracting company in Charlotte, Seattle-Olympia, Denver and southeast Wyoming.  Scott’s current focus is providing building science training and helping individuals and companies enter the fast growing home energy auditing and retrofitting industry with the technical skills and business strategies necessary to succeed.

After graduating from Auburn University with a B.S. degree in Building Science, Scott built homes for several respected companies in the Southeast before settling in Charlotte, North Carolina to create a custom home building company.  After building energy efficient homes he recognized the tremendous value of energy efficient and green building and decided to stop building homes to help home builders and homeowners build and retrofit homes to be more energy efficient, healthy, comfortable, durable and environmentally responsible.  His company was awarded the prestigious Energy Star Partner of the Year as recognition for its accomplishments.  Scott also received a M.A. degree in Ethics and continued his studies with post graduate courses in environmental science and public policy. 

Scott’s current community and environmental volunteer service includes supporting the United States Green Building Council, Building Performance Institute (BPI), Carolinas Clean Air Coalition and The Charlotte Climate Team, a local effort to educate people in the Charlotte region about global climate change.  He also offers an additional public program outlining how homeowners can perform basic energy audits, save energy and conserve water while making their homes more comfortable.
