Bobby de Sousa – Energy Code Program Manager
Bobby de Sousa is a lifelong Massachusetts resident and a Program Manager with the Energy Codes Services team at Performance Systems Development (PSD). His love for nature and adventure sports coupled with his almost decade-long experience with a New England based weatherization company has fostered his desire to help combat climate change and preserve the natural world.
While working in the weatherization industry, Bobby received certifications from the Building Performance Institute (BPI) and RESNET. During the certification process, he discovered a genuine interest in building science. In 2018, Bobby joined PSD as an Energy Code Specialist and worked directly on the Mass Save CSCS program where he prepared and delivered energy code training and support and managed an energy code hotline. After the birth of his son in 2020, he took a three-year hiatus to be a stay-at-home-dad. In April of 2024 he rejoined the PSD team as a Program Manager and looks forward to continuing the important work of achieving a more sustainable future.
