Professional engineer for mechanical and plumbing design, whole building energy modelling and building sustainability, and BCUC regulated thermal energy systems design, analysis, and operation.Building design and professional engineering responsibility for mechanical and plumbing systems in residential, shopping centres, office, hospitality swimming pools, laboratories, malls, restaurants, and mixed use developments.Led teams and worked with businesses to apply the UCA & TES guidelines application for thermal energy businesses including system design, rate design, Stream A/B (CPCN) applications, and operational improvements like for the Shannon Estates Thermal Energy System.In fulfilling my additional role in engineering and operations, I led the creation of the local office's health and safety program, EGBC Organizational Quality Management certification, directed in-house engineering training, and assessment and selection of the primary energy modelling tool.Internationally, I connected the Vancouver sustainability team to NDY's international sustainability teams in Australia and the UK with a focus on Melbourne, Sydney, and London. I developed the professional relationships necessary to make the Vancouver team part of assessments like student housing thermal comfort, passive cooling effectiveness in a prison, a net-zero energy school, and NABERS assessments for projects in Australia and LEED analysis and sustainability assessment for a major office developed in Kings Cross, London.LEED certifications and sustainability strategy leadership for commercial and residential development.NABERS, Energy Step Code, and LEED ASHRAE 90.1 performance path energy modelling.Field reviews for buildings under construction and existing buildings.By personally reviewing design and field matters with the developers, contractors, and other design personnel/stakeholders, rapid and effective resolutions solutions were made.

I led the analysis/sustainability department and I worked on mechanical/plumbing design and energy modelling.In leading the analysis/sustainability department, I was responsible for setting project requirements, setting standards, training, and doing quality review. I ensured the department agilely responded to changes in construction, regulations and standards were incorporated especially when they crossed between energy analysis and mechanical/plumbing design.In mechanical and plumbing design, I worked on multifamily, commercial, and industrial buildings. My design experience includes drafting in AutoCAD, routing ductwork/piping horizontally and vertically throughout buildings, sizing of ducts/pipework, outdoor air calculations to ASHRAE 62.1, and system selection through building load analysis. My administrative tasks also include coordinating site instructions and communicating the results of studies to internal and external clients.For energy modelling, it focused on providing building performance, code compliance, and green-labelling analyses. Code compliance was per the VBBL and BCBC which relied on ASHRAE 90.1 ECB assessments. Green-labelling was generally for LEED-certification or LEED-equivalency ratings purposes using ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G.

I worked with the Regina R&D department with a focus on continuous caster improvements for a factory. I retrieved, prepared, and helped analyze samples to help identify trends. I documented my techniques to make a standard and worked machines to process steel samples. For safety in the factory and the research facility, I followed and improved safe working procedures.
