Energy Modeling Engineer

$50/hr Starting at $2K

40+ years of detailed energy modeling using the DOE2 platform, then graduating to eQuest (DOE2 Windows version). I have performed modeling for scoping of projects, utility rebate work, LEED development, and Tax Law 179D development. I have performed models on houses, K-12 schools, college facilities, offices, hotels and motels, military facilities, multi-family units, and airport facilities. I have modelled cogeneration, thermal storage, chillers, boilers, package units, window and facades, pumping, and controls. John is an “old dog” of computer simulation, doing hour-by-hour DOE-2.1 simulations as far back as 1984. He has embraced the latest DOE-2 version, using the eQuest front-end software for the past fifteen years. Some of his eQuest projects have included: • A 194,000 sf 5 story multi-tiered Natural History Museum located in the Rocky Mountain States. John developed an ASHRAE 90.1-2004 base model and ran 16 iterative parametric runs including glazing, wall composition, cool roof, indirect-direct evaporative cooling, chiller efficiency, and condensing boiler options. • A 147,000 sf 5 story office complex in the Rocky Mountain States, again developing an ASHRAE base case and iterative orientation, wall composition, glazing, HVAC equipment, and control strategies. • A 93,000 sf, 3 story courthouse in Rocky Mountain States, again as an investigative tool to determine how much the proposed building could beat ASHRAE 90.1-2004. Atriums were included in this complex, with side day lighting investigated. • A 116,000 Data Center in Los Angeles where only the 2nd floor of the two story building was modified (half of the square footage shown for the total building). Side and top day lighting as well as high efficient lighting was investigated. • Several middle and grade schools (with multiple buildings) to develop information for Central California School Districts to ascertain if energy savings were actually met. • A 31 story, 265,000 sf condo minimum high rise building in a Southern State to ascertain potential to apply for LEED. • A 150 room resort hotel and dive center on the island of St. Lucia. Dive center won LEED V 3.0 Platinum and hotel expected to achieve at least LEED gold. • Several multi-story residential and non-residential buildings in the City of New York, implementing larger than Code windows, yet achieving compliance with the 2010 New York City Energy Code. • Several large office complexes in downtown Los Angeles, providing retrofit analysis for chiller replacement, controls improvement, and lighting efficiency improvement. • Several New York City Office Bldgs and Multi-Family Residences to comply with the 2016 New York City Energy Code. John has also developed large models in the DOE-2.1e program, which a similar approach could easily be transferred into eQuest. This includes a large 45 building college campus in San Diego, CA with a central plant for the entire campus, including cogeneration and thermal storage.
