All work
I delivered these engagements while leading Ecotope's decarbonization advisory practice, alongside the engineers and partners credited on each card.
A tiered zoning incentive that trades floor area and height for all-electric, low-EUI buildings, built on Washington's Clean Buildings standard and prescriptive code compliance. Adopted into the zoning code in 2024 and carried into Redmond 2050 in 2025.
MY ROLE Program and code designer; drafted the building-performance-based incentive provisions and supported the City's sustainability and planning staff through review and adoption.
Thirteen meetings over 13 months with the Superintendent's 27-member task force, producing 80 recommended actions across policy, buildings, mobility, and waste and materials, toward fossil-free operations by 2040 for a district of more than 100 buildings and 10 million sq ft.
MY ROLE Project lead, task force co-facilitator, project manager, and lead author, responsible for the emissions roadmap for buildings and fleet and the wedge analysis; co-developed the action prioritization with Cascadia Consulting Group, the lead facilitator; DKS supported fleet planning.
Clean Buildings compliance planning for a Tier 1 campus: roles and EUI targets, the energy management plan and O&M program, equipment and KPI inventory, and the capital plan that sequences measures with the ASHRAE Level 2 audit.
MY ROLE Project manager and, with Ecotope engineer Morgan Heater, Qualified Person for the energy management plan and O&M program, supporting Siemens as the prime implementation partner; Ecotope's engineers supported the ASHRAE Level 2 audit, billing analysis, and controls review.
Decarbonization planning for about 766,000 sq ft across 41 municipal structures: electrification opportunities drawn from facility condition and benchmarking data, targeted walk-through audits where data was thin, and a CBPS compliance strategy aligned to the City's climate goals.
MY ROLE The City's designated consultant representative and planning lead; Ecotope engineers performed the walk-through audits.
A decarbonization and CBPS lens on a portfolio-wide condition assessment, including the Public Safety building's Investment Criteria pathway, and the scope for a solar-plus-storage resilience feasibility study for five critical facilities, carried out after I left Ecotope.
MY ROLE Decarbonization and compliance scope, prioritization framework, and stakeholder engagement, as subconsultant to MENG Analysis, the prime on the assessment.
An APPA-funded national utility incentive design producing the Central HPWH Performance and Incentive Tool, screening guidelines, and utility program guidelines. A related commercial heat pump water heater commissioning standard protocol is under development at the Regional Technical Forum.
MY ROLE Ecotope project lead from mid-2022 and lead author of the utility program guidelines; Ecotope's engineering team built the performance modeling behind the tool.
