Sean has experience in new construction energy modelling, and model measurement and verification.  He has strong technical software skills as well as an excellent ability to apply new concepts when problem solving.

During his undergraduate studies, Sean started to develop a keen interest in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and building science. Combining these concepts on a daily basis to help improve the built environment and it’s impact on our ecosystem through high performance building design became his passion. Today, Sean takes great pride in working with clients and industry professionals to find optimal solutions for energy conservation, while considering practical and financial feasibility.
It brings Sean great joy to deliver quality content in a timely fashion. His goal is to make the clients life as easy as possible. Through communication, Sean always ensures he fully understands the scope of work of a project. With his knowledge of the energy efficiency requirements that vary between province and city, Sean collaborates with developers and co-consultants and proposes feasible solutions to potential issues as early as possible, saving everyone a headache down the line!

EXPERIENCE

New construction energy modelling, energy model measurement and verification

Conduct site visits to verify as-built conditions

Proficient in interpreting various energy codes and standards (NECB/ASHRAE)

Prepare energy modelling reports used to communicate code compliance and incentive qualification

Concordia University: Academic Projects

Designed and prepared a full set of mechanical design drawings for the Concordia University Visual Art Pavilion (VA Building) in Montreal, including duct and pipe layouts, schematic diagrams, riser diagrams, and mechanical equipment schedules.

Designed and prepared simple floor plans of a two-story multifunctional building using AutoCAD. Used NECB 2015 values for envelope and efficiencies to size equipment in HAP. Prepared duct layout in AutoCAD.

Created a simulation tool using MATLAB, which compared the hourly room air temperature and temperature distribution in a building with and without considering the thermal storage capacity of building envelope assemblies.

Prepared NECB 2015 compliant building envelope detail drawings for a whole building from scratch using AutoCAD, and conducted thermal bridging and hygrothermal analyses both manually and using various software.
