Judy Dorsey
President and Principal Engineer

Judy is the founding President and principal engineer at The Brendle Group. Her career journey has involved developing a unique expertise in mechanical engineering centered on demonstrating the business case benefits of sustainability. For the last 11 years, she has led The Brendle Group on its quest for sustainable development and climate protection, including energy, water, solid waste, and air emissions.

As an example of Judy's expertise and determination, she rallied a decade of business relationships in 2006 to help form the Northern Colorado Clean Energy Cluster, a mass-collaboration that is growing the regional economy around clean energy technologies. One Cluster initiative, FortZED, provides the platform to transform a 45-Megawatt area covering downtown Fort Collins and the campus of Colorado State University (CSU) into a zero energy district. A thought leader behind FortZED, Judy serves as the Cluster's Executive Director, with Brendle Group employees providing professional staffing.

Judy also serves on the boards of directors for the Rocky Mountain Sustainable Living Association, the High Plains Environmental Center, the CSU Institute for the Built Environment, and the CSU College of Engineering Dean's Advisory Board.

In 2004, Judy received the '40 Under 40' award, which recognizes the top 40 entrepreneurs in Northern Colorado under age 40. In 2006, she received the distinguished alumna award from the CSU Department of Mechanical Engineering, and was nominated by Mayor Hutchinson to the Colorado Climate Action Panel.

Judy holds an MS in Mechanical Engineering from CSU and a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Northwestern University. She is a registered professional engineer in the State of Colorado, a Certified Energy Manager, and LEED Accredited Professional.

Judy resides with her family in Fort Collins in Colorado's first LEED-certified home.
