Responsible for reviewing HB264 Energy Conservation proposals from school districts and their selected energy service companies (ESCO's) which have been submitted for approval. Reviewed and recommended approval of over $10 million in these energy conservation projects. Implementing and managing various energy conservation projects around the State for state agencies using State capital funds and energy performance contracts (EPC's), as well assisting with pilot projects to use special financing options available to the State of Ohio that use the energy savings to payback the project. Provide guidance to office staff for various LEED related issues or concerns that come up during a project design. Provide guidance to internal office project management staff in regards to energy related issues including Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), Lighting, Electrical, etc. Research various energy technologies and provide recommendation to various State agencies and associated staff. Assist with managing a $3 million biannual budget for energy conservation projects to State of Ohio agencies along with several mechanical/energy engineer's on staff. Projects are typically designed and implemented in-house. The savings goal for these projects is a five (5) year payback period or 5 year ROI. Provide guidance to internal construction administration staff in regards to post-construction investigations and issues including Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), Envelope (using thermal imaging equipment), Controls, Lighting, Electrical, etc.

Assisted with managing a $3 million dollar budget for energy conservation projects to State of Ohio agencies along with 1 additional mechanical engineer on staff. Projects are typically designed and implemented in-house. The savings goal for these projects was a 5-year payback period. Assisted Energy Services manager with creating biennium capital budget request for the Office of Energy Services. Developed a budget based on potential energy conservation projects that came about from Phase 1 of a Statewide Energy Audit performed by 11 energy consulting companies on twenty different sites across the state of Ohio. The budget request included 17 projects with a potential capital investment of $16 million and 3 performance contracts with a potential capital investment of $30 million. Performed a detailed energy audit and report for the Ohio Governor’s Residence. The report included detailed history of the building and its construction, bench marking the energy usage, detailed take-off's of all energy using equipment, and 27 energy conservation measures with potential paybacks. Implementing various energy conservation projects around the State for state agencies using State capital funds as well assisting with pilot projects to use special financing options available to the State of Ohio that use the energy savings to payback the project. Provide assistance to office staff for various LEED related issues or concerns that come up during a project design. Provide assistance to internal office staff in regards to energy related issues including Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), Lighting, Electrical, etc. Research various energy technologies and provide recommendation to various State agencies and associated staff. One such, research included various fuel cell technologies that could be implemented, in lieu of, a fossil-fuel back-up generator at the Ohio Governor’s Residence and Heritage Garden.

Jun 1998 - Dec 2009
Designed various HVAC systems for Industrial, Commercial, Residential projects around Ohio and Kentucky. My main focus was with the mechanical design of hospitals and schools. These included single zone, dual duct, variable-air-volume (VAV) systems, Geothermal systems, Chilled Beam Systems, etc. This involved developing plans, specifications, and inspection reports as needed on assigned tasks and saw that these items were complete, accurate, and in accordance with good engineering practice. Provided data entry and developed heating and cooling load analysis for assigned projects using Carrier's HAP program and the Trane Trace 700 program. Provided data entry and developed energy models for assigned LEED projects to satisfy the Energy and Atmosphere (EA) credit using DOE's eQuest energy modeling program. Technically involved in the resolution of design problems that may include performing field investigations or inspections, detailed design work, and detailed checking of design computations done by others, or general coordination of specific design aspects into a project. Supervised and scheduled work of other junior engineering team members. Worked closely with other disciplines on multi-discipline projects. Participated and assisted in developing a company designed QA/QC process for all design projects before going to bid. This process avoided many contractor questions at bid and construction, also change orders in the field. Reviewed and approved/rejected shop drawings for equipment to be used on designed projects. Provided field observation reports for projects near the final completion date, indicating any discrepancies between the design documents and actual installed items.
