I'm an experienced energy engineer looking for new projects in the NY Metro Area. Highly skilled professional with over 8 years of experience in energy modeling and energy auditing for all types of commercial and residential properties including hotels, apartments, data centers, laboratories, schools and universities. Licenses and certifications: LEED-AP, PE (Mechanical), and CEM. Member of ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrig, & Air Cond. Engineers), AEE (Assoc. of Energy Engineers), and IBPSA (International Building Performance Simulation Association).

• WAP Auditor: Performs comprehensive energy audits for various low-income residential properties through New York City as part of the Federal Weatherization Assistance Program. Conducts site visits and walkthroughs to identify equipment pieces and potential problems, and possible energy conservation solutions. • NYSERDA TA (Technical Assistant): Administer various NYSERDA including NCP (new construction program-commercial) and MPP (multifamily performance program) incentive programs on behalf of various in NY State. Performed tasks necessary to receive incentives: Developed a list of elligible energy savings measures based on the design documents, led team meetings to present and verify measures, acquired data necessary to calculate measure savings, performed whole building energy simulations to calculate lifecycle costs and savings, wrote technical reports and applications, conducts site inspections to verify that models reflect actual conditions, and that actual conditions comply with program requirements.

-- I perform comprehensive energy audits for various commercial and residential properties through New York City as part of Local Law 87 compliance. -- As part of the audit process, I conduct site visits and walkthroughs to identify equipment pieces and potential problems, and possible energy conservation solutions. To assist in savings calculation and cost estimation, I have developed several proprietary tools and models using eQuest, DOE-2.1, Visual Basic, MATLAB, and Excel. --- I perform energy benchmarking services using Portfolio Manager as part of Energy Star Verification, Local Law 86 compliance, and LEED-EB compliance.

Using eQuest, DOE-2.1E and other software tools, I developed whole building energy simulation to accurately estimate cost and consumption for both new and existing buildings. These models were then compared against a baseline (ASHRAE 90.1 for new buildings or current conditions for existing buildings) to determine cost effective strategies to enhance building performance.Projects include:• Used eQuest to produce a whole campus energy model of the NYU-Langone Medical Center. Used this model to determine optimum chiller operating sequence for central plant, as part of overall demand reduction strategy. • Developed energy savings and cost estimation models for Ballston Spa Elementary School as required under the NYSERDA New Construction Program. Used the program-provided "Total Resource Cost Calculator" to determine financial incentives for the various energy conservation measures that were implemented. Used these results to complete required forms as part of the incentive application process

Using eQuest, DOE-2.1E and other software tools, I developed whole building energy simulation to accurately estimate cost and consumption for both new and existing buildings. These models were then compared against a baseline (ASHRAE 90.1 for new buildings or current conditions for existing buildings) to determine cost effective strategies to enhance building performance.In addition to energy modeling, I also developed using Visual Basic a custom software package to streamline energy model development by importing information directly from CAD files, and zone/system description spreadsheets and exporting them to eQuest.Projects include:• Achieved recognition from Viridian for the development of a custom software package that streamlined energy modeling turnaround time by over 30%. Trained staff in the use of this program. - Provided energy modeling expertise as part of a comprehensive ASHRAE Level III investment grade energy audit of Malkin Properties 10M sq.ft commercial office portfolio in the New York City Metro Area. • Developed a process cooling model for New York Public Aquarium Animal Care Facility• Developed and analyzed various energy efficiency measures that will be incorporated into the design of a zero-net-energy government office building• Developed method for modeling variable refrigerant volume systems in eQuest

Using eQuest, DOE-2.1E and other software tools, I developed whole building energy simulation to accurately estimate cost and consumption for both new and existing buildings. These models were then compared against a baseline (ASHRAE 90.1 for new buildings or current conditions for existing buildings) to determine cost effective strategies to enhance building performance.Projects include:-- Created energy model of 1.5 million square foot Carousel Mall Expansion at DestinyUSA as part of the LEED-NC Certification Process-- Developed for Dupont-Fabros, Inc a custom energy model that were used to both benchmark energy efficiency for their existing portfolio of data centers, and verify energy savings for new data centers as part of LEED-NC Certification Process.-- Created whole building energy model of the City of Alexandria, VA Police Headquarters Building for LEED-NC Certification-- Created whole building energy model of Fairfax County Dept of Health Laboratory for LEED-NC Certification -- I performed ASHRAE Level I & II energy audits for various commercial, residential institutional and government properties throughout the Washington, DC Metro Area. I conducted site visits and walkthroughs to identify equipment pieces and potential problems, and possible energy conservation solutions. I then calculated annual energy cost savings and implementation for the identified energy conservation measures to determine their viability. When necessary to assist in savings calculations, I developed proprietary methods and models using eQuest, DOE-2.1, Visual Basic, MATLAB, and Excel. Projects include:-- Led comprehensive six building energy audit for Berks Co, PA Dept. of Public Works.-- Led building-wide energy audit and conducted microturbine co-generation feasibility study for the American Center for Physics in College Park, MD.-- Worked as part of team conducting a multi-building energy audit for Carderock Naval Surface Warfare Center
