As a Mechanical and Building Performance Engineer, I have always been passionate about optimizing energy performance and occupant comfort in existing buildings.Through my years of research and work experience in this field, I have leveraged my expertise in whole-building energy modelling, simulation-based optimization, recommissioning, decarbonization and energy management to facilitate low-carbon, energy-efficient, financially viable building design and retrofit solutions for various building typologies.Here is some insight into my experience and core competencies:- Experienced in adapting to and coordinating projects in fast-paced integrated design environments- Recommissioning of Institutional, Residential, Commercial, and Long-Term Care buildings through BC Hydro Continuous Optimization- Net Zero Carbon and Energy Studies, and Fortis BC Feasibility Studies- Whole-Building Energy Modelling reviewing information from architectural, mechanical, and electrical drawings- Simulation-based optimization studies on building energy performance, occupant comfort, and costs for residential, commercial, and institutional buildings- Knowledge of NECB, ASHRAE (62.1, 90.1, 189.1), BC Step Code, LEED rating system- Building Integrated Photovoltaic/Thermal systems design and modelling- HVAC systems sizing and Thermally driven cooling systems design and modelling- Environmental Impact Assessments (GHG emissions and embodied carbon) and Life Cycle Cost Analyses- ASHRAE Level I and II energy assessments/audits and air tightness tests- Developing Load Forecasts and Community Energy Profiles for First Nation remote communitiesOutside of work, I enjoy practicing yoga, travelling, cooking and being in nature.
