Military installation, Pacific Northwest

Steam decentralization and barracks HVAC under a utility energy service contract

Commissioning authority for two energy conservation measures: replacing a central steam loop with building-level boiler plants across eight buildings, and a full HVAC replacement in a barracks with dedicated outdoor air units, fan coils, an air-cooled chiller, and a condensing boiler.

Design review caught a boiler efficiency deviation from the contract, a removed system still in the test scope, and a controls protocol conflict before construction started.

Acute care hospital, Florida

Pharmacy suite pressurization

Testing found the pharmacy's main area negative to the corridor and the ante room negative to the main area, where both needed to be positive.

Testing at increased outdoor air showed the serving air handler could not reach its discharge air temperature target, so the fix had to include the unit, not just the room balance.

New hospital, Florida Gulf Coast

Shared outdoor air system failure before opening

Diagnosed a cascading failure in a shared outdoor air duct system serving multiple units during the opening phase.

Root cause: fire/smoke dampers closing on unit shutdown while the outdoor air fan kept pressurizing the shared duct.

Private university academic hall, Central Florida

Controls recommissioning and issue escalation

Worked with the controls contractor to correct economizer loop tuning, CO2 demand control ventilation, outdoor air control, VAV unoccupied logic, and dew point humidity triggers.

Escalated unresolved energy recovery, outdoor air compliance, airflow station, and building pressurization issues to the owner with documented evidence.

Private university student union, Central Florida

Retro-commissioning findings to close-out

Reviewed retro-commissioning findings for an occupied student union covering VAV terminals, boiler operation, and kitchen-area controls.

Converted the findings into a prioritized task list so the team could close items in order of impact.

Oceanfront resort hotel, Hawaii

Building automation issues log

Built a formal commissioning issues log from a review of 73 building automation system screens.

Captured 44 issues and ranked each by priority so the team could fix the highest-impact items first.

Mixed-use building, Miami

Water source heat pump system

Commissioned a water source heat pump system in phases while parts of the building were still incomplete.

Documented what could be tested at each stage and what had to wait, so nothing fell through at turnover.

• Hydronics
• Phased testing
• Issues log

High-rise hotel, Miami

Hot water loss on upper floors

Investigated a recurring loss of hot water on the top floors using the hotel's complaint log and record riser diagrams for a one-riser-per-stack system.
