- Mentored three lead engineers through a one-year program, providing guidance in project work planning, team resourcing and management, client request management and effective communication.- Wrote proposals for the building performance scope on over 10 projects.- Directing an internal project looking at hydrogen energy storage solutions as alternatives to conventional options such as propane-fueled backup generators and lithium batteries.

San Francisco, California, United States

- Lead the building performance scope on 30 buildings (multifamily, affordable housing, office, core and shell laboratory and community center).- Collaborated with architects and MEP engineers to integrate innovative solutions in the design and ensure the project achieves its goals successfully.- Highlighted PAE’s experience with building analysis on multifamily projects during a project interview.- Completed a return on investment (ROI) analysis for a battery energy storage system on a large office project using SAM by NREL. Tested different system sizes and dispatch strategies to optimize the ROI.- Developed a Title 24 alternative compliance method for projects that use air source heat pumps for heating. This method was reviewed by external peers and approved by several cities.

San Francisco, California, United States

- Lead the building performance scope on 10 buildings (multifamily and office).- Led a company-wide IES LEED energy modeling training initiative aimed at establishing a standardized workflow and compiling of best practices and lessons learned.- Created an extensive guidebook for Title 24 code compliance modeling utilizing IES and CBECC-Com, detailing a step-by-step modeling process and providing a repository of common errors and solutions.

San Francisco, California, United States

- Performed energy modeling to inform the design of a 58,000 sf Net Zero Energy office building with mixed-mode ventilation in southern California.- Developed LEED energy models and Title 24 code compliance models for commercial and high-rise residential projects.- Completed an internal grant for a research program on Phase Change Materials (PCMs). Coordinated experimentation to maximize the passive cooling effects of PCM blankets installed over ceiling tiles. Used the results to inform modeling guidelines for IES models.

San Francisco, California, United States

- Conducted energy modeling and documentation for a range of LEED v2009 BD+C projects.- Carried Computational Fluid Dynamics studies to assess thermal comfort and support the design of mechanically and naturally ventilated spaces.- Performed thermal comfort analysis for naturally ventilated spaces.- Produced reports presenting technical results to the design team. Created material supporting passive design, energy and water efficiency strategies for design competitions.

San Francisco, California, United States

- Conducted Measurement and Verification on the LEED Platinum Federal Center South project. Tracked building’s post-occupancy energy performance against predictive models, highlighting discrepancies and recommending corrective actions.- Advised on water efficiency, on-site capture and reuse design strategies.
