Assisted in implementing HVAC and lighting setbacks to reduce energy usage for the university. Setbacks included adjusting air handler schedules and temperature setpoints, and the project assessment resulted in $1.1 million in utility bill savings.Assisted in annual load shedding and demand response days resulting in over $100k in savings for the university. My responsibilities included remotely adjusting and monitoring temperature and humidity in student houses and apartments as well as turning air handlers on and off while also monitoring temperature and humidity readings.Designed and proposed design layouts for 52 kW and 29 kW solar arrays to be installed on the windscreen of the engineering building with the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions up to 140,000 lbs CO2/yr and 88,000 lbs CO2/yr, respectively. Initiated a lighting audit of three residential buildings on campus to replace fluorescent lamps with LEDs that could have the potential to save 400,000 kWh/yr & $22,000/yr for the university.Analyzed 167-fleet vehicle emissions and proposed fully electric and plug-in hybrid options for at least a 50% reduction in GHG emissions.Utilized Portfolio Manager to analyze the energy usage and overall GHG emissions for academic and residential buildings on campus.Calculated annual GHG emissions for the university using the carbon-accounting platform SIMAP.

Worked with Emerson Electric to implement 700+ Sensi smart thermostats in student houses and apartments. Surveyed students about their daily schedules so that temperature schedules could be created to reduce unnecessary energy usage when houses are unoccupied. Conducted 240+ house audits to be used for energy modeling predictions.Mapped air handler and irrigation lines across campus in ArcGIS Pro.Was a member of the Campus Energy Team where we implemented new energy-related sustainability initiatives for the university.
