Janki A Vyas, AIA, LEED AP, is the principal of an emerging design and consulting firm, KARMA co/lab, which specializes in evidence-based design and environmental performance. She is also a lecturer at the Weitzman School of Design at the University of Pennsylvania, teaching architects and designers workflows for integrating daylight simulation into the design process. She's previously taught at Temple University and in the Master of Science in Sustainable Design (MSSD) program at Thomas Jefferson University's East Falls campus. In 2021, she was awarded the Provost Team Award for Interdisciplinary Education which recognized the collaborative effort leading to significant achievements by the Solar Decathlon Design Studio.

Janki is also an active member of AIA Philadelphia COTE committee and co-chairs the 2030 Working Group. She is also a committee member of ASHRAE Standard 209, “Energy Simulation Aided Design for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings”, which focuses on establishing a minimum standard for providing energy design assistance using building energy simulation and analysis.

When she's not thinking about ways to improve the quality and efficiency of the spaces that we inhabit or the processes we use to design and build, you can find her with her husband and their 6-year-old daughter restoring a pollinator habitat in the garden or attempting an ambitious culinary menu in the kitchen.
