communication skills both written and verbal. Proposal writing, budgeting, community and
government liaison are also required.
Partial list of recent projects:
.
Project Management for energy and building renovation of the
Princeton Club of New York. This project in New York City
involves design, project management, installation and
commissioning of a Co-Generation system, a redesigned HVAC
system and a major revocation. Jeff is responsible for the LEED
certification of the entire construction project. This contract
is with Chandler LLC on Greenwich Ct.
Design of Energy Efficient Residential Homes and Commercial
Buildings using building science to maximize indoor air quality,
lower the embodied energy, and reduce maintenance and operating
costs. To utilize available governmental incentive grants and
innovative technology to reduce project costs.
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Testing and Problem Solving. Work with governments, industry and
private parties to eliminate situations that cause IAQ problems. The use of testing equipment to
measure real-time concentrations and prepare samples for lab investigations. To provide expert
information on various protocols to reduce IAQ problems through source elimination, separation
and ventilation. Jeff has published documents for Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation in
the field of IAQ.
Energy Analysis for Major Fish Processing Plant: This contract
involved various types of energy audits and computer modeling
e.g. energy in, energy out and fuel costs. Required the use of
computer simulation to determine energy and dollar savings using
various technologies e.g. active solar and thermo transfer. This
project will identify this client as an Eco-Efficient business.
Forest Stewardship Council representative from Nova Scotia during the policy development and
implementation stage.
Oil Spill Clean-Up for various clients using Risk Based
Corrective Action (RBCA) and provincial standards.
Project Investigator, Researcher, Manager and Engineer for various Environmental Health
problems / projects. Work includes problem evaluation, testing and get-well strategies.
