Summary
Experience
- Led mechanical design for 8+ large-scale commercial and healthcare projects, overseeing budgets up to $15M and reducing design errors by 18% through enhanced QA/QC protocols.
- Managed energy modeling and daylighting analysis using Trane TRACE 700 and IES-VE, identifying opportunities to cut projected energy costs by an average of 25% for new constructions.
- Designed and specified HVAC systems, including VAV, VRF, and geothermal loops, for over 15 institutional and industrial projects ranging from $1M to $10M in mechanical scope.
- Performed detailed load calculations, ductwork sizing, and piping layouts using Carrier HAP and AutoCAD MEP, optimizing system performance and material costs by 10%.
Projects
- Developed comprehensive mechanical system designs for a 30-story mixed-use tower, integrating high-efficiency VRF systems and dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS) to achieve LEED Gold certification targets.
- Engineered and implemented a new ventilation and exhaust system for a 500,000 sq ft manufacturing plant, improving indoor air quality and worker comfort by 40% while reducing energy load.
- Designed a process cooling water system that improved operational efficiency of critical machinery, resulting in a 15% reduction in downtime and a projected annual saving of $180,000 in utility costs.
- Managed the installation and commissioning phase, ensuring all systems met design specifications and performed within expected parameters, completing the project 2 weeks ahead of schedule.
- Conducted a detailed analysis of existing central chilled water and hot water plants for a major university, identifying inefficiencies in pump and chiller sequencing.
- Developed and proposed a control system upgrade and optimization strategy, which was projected to reduce central plant energy consumption by 20%, saving the university $300,000 annually.
- Assisted in the development of project specifications and bid documents for the control system implementation, ensuring scope clarity and competitive procurement.
Education
