Dr. Richard Haut is currently a Senior Research Scientist at the Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC). He serves as 

the Principal Investigator (P.I.) for various projects associated with securing energy for the future. A major effort is serving 

as P.I. for the Environmentally Friendly Drilling program in partnership with Texas A&M University, other universities 

and industry with the objective of integrating advanced technologies into systems that significantly reduce the 

environmental tradeoffs of petroleum drilling and production. He also serves as the P.I. for various projects concerning the 

built environment, working with the City of Houston, in particular, Rich directs the Solar America Cities program for the 

City of Houston and other solar, energy efficiency and renovation programs, including the George R. Brown Solar Pilot 

Program and the East Harris County Solar Energy Pilot Program. 

Dr. Haut served as the Director of the Sustainable Technologies Group at the Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC) 

from 2002 to 2006. In the position, he was responsible for directing various HARC teams associated with high performance 

green building systems and materials, trace chemical detection, offshore technologies, cryogenics/superconductivity and air 

emissions reduction technologies - moving knowledge to action in supporting policies and technologies that improve 

human well-being and the environment. Dr. Haut also served as P.I. for various projects associated with ecologized 

building systems, and represented HARC on various committee and organizations, including the EPA’s Regional and Local 

Land Revitalization Team. During his tenure, the Group won a variety of awards, including the Innovative Technology 

Award for Wood Treatment Processing, the Citizen’s Environmental Coalition President’s synergy award and an honorable
