Representative Project Experience
Poudre School District - Operations Center, Fort Collins, Colorado – Ground-source Heat pumps, heat recovery, natural ventilation, daylighting, and more
Design of ground-source heat pump system, heat-recovery ventilation, daylighting and occupancy sensors integration with mechanical, and demonstration solar photovoltaic system; Excellent Use of Renewable Energy in Buildings award from the Colorado Renewable Energy Society, 2002; Regional ASHRAE Award in 2003 for New Institutional Buildings category. more...
Lucile Erwin Middle School Ice Thermal Storage Sytem, Loveland, Colorado
Design of chilled water system for a new middle school using ice thermal storage and highly innovative flexible storage and pumping system concepts. Evaluated cooling alternatives and local utility incentives for a new Thompson School District middle school. Energy cost savings are optimized with continuous monitoring of building kW demand and modulation and shut-off of the chiller.
Shambhala Mountain Center – Rigden Lodge, Red Feather Lakes, Colorado – Radiant heating and domestic solar hot water
Mechanical and plumbing design for meditation, dormitory, and multi-purpose project with high efficiency condensing boilers to provide heating through baseboard radiation with radiant floors in specific areas.
Silver Sage Village, Boulder, Colorado – Radiant heating, domestic solar hot water, and DX cooling
Mechanical and plumbing design for co-housing project with high efficiency condensing boilers to provide heating through baseboard radiation with radiant floors as a unit upgrade option, and split-system DX for optional cooling.
Century Elementary School, Aurora, Colorado – Renovation of HVAC system
Mechanical design for 50,000 sq. ft. elementary school HVAC system renovation and upgrade. Systems include new high efficiency condensing boilers, chilled water, and replacement of pneumatic controls with digital. Two options, air-cooled chiller and water-to-water Ground Source Heat Pumps were fully designed and bid as alternates.
Denver Place - LEED for Existing Buildings (EB) pilot project, Denver, Colorado
LEED Accredited Professional for LEED for Existing Buildings (EB) pilot project under sub-contract to E-Cube, Inc. Project comprises a full city block in downtown Denver including two office towers, 34 and 23 stories each, connected by two-six level Terraces, comprising 815,000 gross square feet. Project has been awarded a LEED EB Gold rating and was the first LEED EB, and first LEED Gold, in Colorado.
Palmer Ridge High School
Peer review for new high school. Systems include ground-coupled heat pumps, energy recovery ventilation, and a variety of measures intended to make this school one of the lowest energy use high schools in the State.
Indian Hills Residence
Mechanical design for a new net zero residence. Systems include solar thermal heating (domestic hot water, space heat), interface with PV solar, energy recovery, variable speed main fan system, radiant floor heating, sun-space heat transfer
Schriever Data Center troubleshooting
Peer review and analysis of mechanical design and installation during commissioning. The system included chilled water with ice thermal storage. Results of analysis included development of remediation design to increase capacity and reliability of a high-criticality facility.
Harvest House, Boulder, Colorado – Net Zero Energy Home Consultation
Mechanical consultation for a net-zero energy home in Boulder Colorado. Systems consultation include ground-coupled “cool tube” for outside air pre-heat and pre-cooling, passive solar heat transfer from sun space to interior, and distribution of ventilation air from heat recovery to interior spaces.
Denver Athletic Club; Athletic Addition; Denver, Colorado
Project Manager of HVAC, Plumbing and Fire Protection design. The addition included a 100 meter pool, Racquet Ball and Squash courts, lockers, exercise room and snack bar. The system design utilized outside air control for dehumidification and included run-around loop heat recovery. The systems were constant volume air handling units with chilled water cooling and hot water heating coils. The project included an air cooled chiller and a boiler plant.
