Led the development of over $160 million in energy conservation measures for Air Force and Army customers. Measures included entire base conversion of interior and exterior lighting to LEDs, 3.5 MW solar photovoltaic, controls, building envelope, piping insulation, HVAC equipment replacements and optimization of industrial process measures such as paint booths, dip tanks and compressed air. Took a holistic and integrated approach to enhance the resilience posture of an Army customer, coupling energy and water conservation measures to augment the effectiveness of a 15 MW black start microgrid and battery storage technologies

92866 Issy Les Moulineaux Cedex 9, Fr

Worked with University, Healthcare, Senior Living and Corporate customers to develop energy savings projects, optimize chilled water systems, remodel serveries, dining and kitchens. Led the development and installation of Subway, Chick-fil-A, and Starbucks brands.

Applied design, facilities maintenance and energy engineering experience to lead teams in the development of facility improvement projects that are paid for by the energy savings they achieve. Directly led the development of $34MM in projects and assisted in the development of $38MM. Measures developed included retro-commissioning, controls optimization, water conservation, lighting, HVAC, plug loads, solar PV and solar thermal. Tasks included meeting with customer to assess needs and energy goals, auditing facilities, establishing an accurate energy baseline, energy modeling using software or spreadsheets, writing scopes of work for bid purposes or cost estimating, defining equipment specifications and writing measurement and verification protocols. For each project I create a finance model that calculates the term of the loan needed to pay for the measures based on variables like savings, interest rate, cost and inflation.
