Workforce Development and Training
| Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy, Workforce Development | Started ERG in 1975 as an energy efficiency and renewable energy consulting firm and have written multiple books on solar energy (Solar Energy Utilization, Van Nostrand Reinhold -1979, 253 pp.) and authored multiple research papers (DOE related research on building energy modeling, energy efficiency, passive solar retrofits, and contributed to the first BEPS efforts with AIA Research Corporation, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) that have been published and presented at conferences in the US and abroad. I trained home energy auditors for St. Louis County Missouri in 1977 to provide free energy audits for homeowners (training tapes still available). Taught Passive Solar Design courses, training home builders, across the country under contracts to regional solar commercialization centers and to manufactured housing companies under a SERI (Solar Energy Research Institute – NREL predecessor) contract. Building Operator Certification trainer per Northwest Energy Efficiency Council program for state programs across the State of Missouri. The ERG team developed one of the first microprocessor based 32 channel data acquisition systems to support passive solar retrofit research efforts. Developed one of the first appliance power monitoring systems, “Energy$Teller” to support the concept of “informed consent” with respect to home electricity use. It was marketed to the utility industry (IOUs, Munis, & Coops) when DSM was in vogue (died when utility deregulation happened). Volunteered for 10± years on the ASHRAE Standards Project Committee 90.1 – developing the energy efficiency guidelines for buildings over 3 stories – helping to develop the first version of the Energy Cost Budget compliance path. Helped found the St. Louis Gateway Chapter of the US Green Building Council in 2000. Adjunct faculty for 9 years teaching a graduate level course on Energy and Buildings in the Energy, Environmental and Chemical Engineering Department at Washington University, St. Louis – students’ terminal projects were ASHRAE Level II audits of buildings on campus. Current focus is on delivering net-zero cost-effectively (10+% ROI) in Justice 40 communities. Registered Architect in Missouri, Member of ASHRAE, Certified Commissioning Authority. |
