Rajeev Kotha
Data Scientist
Rajeev joined OPEN Technologies in 2025 after 7+ years bouncing between four countries—United Arab Emirates, India, the US, and now Canada—working in sustainability consulting, building energy analysis, and renewable energy programs. His academic foundation (Masters in Energy Systems, Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering) laid the groundwork, but his real expertise comes from time spent at UVic’s ReBuild Initiative, where he figured out how to teach machines to read buildings through time-series data, and at the Pembina Institute, where he learned what decarbonization actually looks like in the real world. Now he channels that combination of technical chops (Python, building physics, predictive modeling) and hard-won domain knowledge into automated solutions that actually move the needle on building decarbonization.
Team
Our team has decades of experience in green building innovation, software development, and business development.
With executive and management level experience in policy-making, real estate development, property management, architecture, energy modelling, product management, and business management, we have a holistic understanding of the building sector and the leverage points to create positive change.
OPEN Technologies grew out of the OPEN Green Building Society, a non-profit organization that has been developing open source software tools for the green building space since 2013. Today, OPEN Technologies and OPEN Green Building Society are affiliated organizations with a shared goal: to use data to shape a regenerative future for our cities.
