ABILITIES

HVAC System Simulation

Developed computer programs to simulate HVAC systems including conventional systems, heat pump systems, solar heating and cooling systems, direct/indirect evaporative cooling systems, and off-peak thermal storage systems utilizing chilled water, ice, or eutectic salt storage. Analyzed energy consumption of hundreds of buildings utilizing the above energy analysis program as well as the TRANE TRACE, APEC ESP-II, and DOE 2.1E computer programs.

Energy Audits

Conducted energy audits for numerous university and college campuses, high schools and middle schools throughout New Mexico and Arizona. In addition, analyzed potential energy saving features at facilities such as Lifescan, Ethicon, and Kraft foods.

Central Plant Analysis

Analyzed university and college campus chilled water, hot water, and steam piping performance and diagnosed reported problem areas. The resulting recommendation from one of these studies saved the university over $500,000 annually in electrical costs.

Computer Consultant

Performed various duties such as building computer networks utilizing Novell Netware and Linux operating systems. Performed computer system downsizing from a Digital VAX mini-computer system to a local area network, including the conversion of computer programs so that they would run in a PC environment.

Training Skills

Taught solar energy seminar for the University of New Mexico. Researched and taught in-house seminars to educate entering engineers about computer usage, high altitude affects on HVAC equipment, computer analysis of duct and piping systems, etc.
