Detail-oriented and motivated Mechanical Engineering senior at Portland State University with hands-on internship experience in building energy efficiency consulting at CLEAResult. Eager to secure a full-time entry-level engineering position to leverage technical skills and collaborative mindset in contributing to sustainable design and tackling complex problem-solving challenges.
Working with a highly effective, interdisciplinary team reviewing new construction (NC)
projects’ energy efficiency incentive applications
• Using a variety of engineering calculation methodologies to determine energy savings
for NC projects
• Reading and understanding building plans and specifications
• Applying the leading-edge Oregon Energy Efficiency Specialty Code (ASHRAE 90.1) to
energy savings calculations
• Using and modifying spreadsheet tools and calculators (MS Excel)
• Implementing building energy modeling software such as eQUEST, Energy Plus, and
IESVE to find energy savings for real-world construction projects
• Understanding typical energy savings opportunities for lighting, HVAC, building shell,
domestic hot water, and other energy-influencing systems
• Utility Efficiency program design, functions and structures
• Learning how renewable energy resources such as photovoltaics are implemented in NC
• Attending Early Design Meetings while engaging with project owners, designers, and
architects about the building design process
• Authenticating energy efficiency measures on completed projects via remote and/or in-
person verification activities
• Understanding the critical role of our (non-engineering) Outreach, Operations,
Marketing, and other colleagues and partners
• Consistent consideration and application of safe practices
