Commissioning / Retro-Commissioning
[RCx] The Ritz-Carlton, Boston Commons; Boston, Massachusetts
2015
Implementation focused retro-commissioning of The Ritz-Carlton Luxury Hotel. Physical mechanical equipment inspections, testing, and in-depth review of control strategies enabled the hotel to begin realizing savings before the project was completed and has established a path forward for continued year over year energy performance improvements.
[RCx] Elevations Credit Union - Wilderness Peaks Administrative Office Building; Boulder, Colorado
2013 - Present
Retro-Commissioning and on-going commissioning of administrative building. Project has included scoping of various capital improvement projects.
[Cx] Elevations Credit Union - Diagonal Branch; Boulder, Colorado
2013 - Present
On-going commissioning of a newer DDC controls system. Work to date has included installation of electrical sub-meter, morning warm-up control sequence improvements to reduce peak electric kW, installation of a variable speed building pressurization exhaust fan, and many other facets.
[Cx] Elevations Credit Union - Longmont Branch; Longmont, Colorado
2015
Commissioning of new HVAC systems and controls.
[RCx] Erie High School Chilled Water Controls Programming; Erie Colorado
2015 - Present
Working to modify the high school's chilled water central plant control sequences to eliminate unnecessary peak electric kW demand charges via a predictive load-based sequence.
[Cx] Castle Rock Middle School Cx & Controls Optimization; Castle Rock, Colorado
2014
Commissioning and complete controls sequence re-design of a new DDC control system. Designed and implemented with controls contractor fully cascading zone load-based control sequences for VAVs, FPBs, AHUs, chiller plant, and boiler plant.
[RCx] Breckenridge Main Street Station; Breckenridge, Colorado
2011/2012
RCx study through the Xcel Energy Utility RCx program of a 173,000 sqft condominium complex of condos, retail and restaurant establishments, and public spaces. The customer has implemented a number of the recommendations from this study with great success.
[RCx] Estes Park Medical Center; Estes Park, Colorado
2011
RCx study through the PRPA Utility RCx program of a 24-hour critical access acute care facility.

City/County of Broomfield Derda Recreation Center, Westin Tabor Center Hotel, Sheraton Hotel Denver, Agilent Technologies Manufacturing and Research Campus, and GSA Whittaker Federal Courthouse.
Energy Audits & ESPCs
[Audits] The Ritz-Carlton Luxury Hotels Snapshot Energy Audits; Various, United States
2015 - Present
Conducted Snapshot Energy Audits, a scope of energy auditing specifically developed for the Ritz-Carlton luxury hotels brand, were performed to help each hotel develop a game plan of how/where to focus efforts on energy management and conservation especially as it results to impacts on guest experience. The audit targeted low-cost, capital, and behavioral recommendations for all hotel departments (facility/maintenance, culinary, housekeeping, event/banquet, and laundry). For properties that requested additional services, assisted with developing game (implementation) plans, reviewed common area utility allocations, conducted staff training, and did retro-commissioning.
[Audits] Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) Energy Audits
2010 - 2012
Performed ASHRAE Level 1 & Level 2 energy audits of 15+ commissaries and cold-storage warehouse/distribution facilities throughout the western United States and northern Japan.
[Audit] Laramie County School District #1 Technical Energy Audits
2011
Performed investment grade (ASHRAE Level III) energy audits of 1.1 million square feet of K-12 schools and administrative buildings.

Other
[Demand Optimization] ACME Manufacturing Company; Denver, CO
2016
Installed electric sub-metering equipment on an industrial process to inform startup procedures for reduced peak electric demand charges. The installed equipment also provided the customer with further insight into their processes energy requirements, stimulating additional process changes for further utility cost reductions.
[Industrial Process Cooling Design Cx] ACME Manufacturing Company; Denver, CO
2016
Provided design guidance for an industrial cooling process that ultimately led to industry best practice piping layouts and installation of dual high-efficiency scroll chillers over a single chiller, offering greater operating efficiency, system redundancy, and rebates from the utility company.
[Mentor] Renew Our Schools (RoS) Saint-Vrain Valley School District; Longmont, Colorado
2015
Served as a mentor to an elementary school and a middle school during the Renew Our School program. More information on the Renew Our Schools program can be found here.
[Tool Development] Xcel Energy Re-Commissioning Tool
2010 - Present
