Assistant energy Manager

Sep 2022 - Present
Working in the Planning and Programming Bureau of the Construction Facilities Management Office in the NJ Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMAVA), I focus on developing energy management projects for DMAVA facilities including Army National Guard buildings throughout New Jersey. Projects range from EV charging installations, to building energy-conservation retrofits and new building construction. We report on and analyze facility energy and water usage. We also use the BUILDER SMS database’s building system life-cycle assessments to identify potential Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization (SRM) projects. Show less
