James D.

* Supervising Engineer * Plan Review / PE Stamping * Project Management * Building / Mechanical Code Compliance * Drawing / Specification Package Preparation * BIM/VDC * Certified Commissioning Authority (CxA) Professional Engineer licensed in the following states: CA - California FL - Florida IN - Indiana NM - New Mexico NY - New York OH - Ohio TX - Texas Extensive experience designing HVAC, mechanical, refrigeration, plumbing, and high-performing advanced control systems in various building types and sizes across residential, healthcare, commercial, industrial, manufacturing, aviation, higher education, and combined heat and power markets. I have an extensive understanding of the International Building, Mechanical, Plumbing, Fuel Gas, Fire, and Residential Codes, as well as NFPA, ASHRAE, ASME, ANSI, and ASSE standards. All designs are performed in 3D with Autodesk Revit, or other CAD / BIM programs per request. Mechanical Systems of Note: -Hot Water Boiler -Low and High Pressure Steam -Chilled Water -Process Cooling -Combined Heat and Power Plants (CHP) / Cogeneration / Trigeneration -Central Refrigeration Systems (Ammonia / CO2 Cascade, Transcritical CO2) -Geothermal -Heat Pumps (ground, water, air source) -VAV Variable Air Volume, Low / Medium / High Pressure duct systems -VRF / Energy Recovery Ventilation -Industrial HVAC / Hazardous Exhaust Systems -Heat Recovery Finite Element Analysis: Advanced piping design. FEA pipe stress test analysis for thermal stresses on power piping, high-pressure steam, low temp refrigeration, process piping, and other pipe systems. Expertise with the following ASME piping codes: -B31.1 Power Piping -B31.3 Process Piping -B31.5 Refrigeration Piping and Heat Transfer Components -B31.9 Building Services Piping -BPE Bioprocessing Equipment (Pharmaceutical Process Piping) Computational Fluid Dynamics: CFD for advanced HVAC and thermal/fluid designs. Simulations of smoke control systems, data center cooling design, large open atrium, industrial HVAC and process piping, etc. Preconstruction Coordination / BIM / VDC: I model 2D plans in 3D and perform clash detection to ensure interdisciplinary coordination before construction. In addition, I have a 3D laser scanner which I use to generate extremely accurate 3D point clouds for use in Revit, Navisworks, and AutoCAD to generate precise as-builts. Energy Engineering: I have extensive experience analyzing and simulating existing and new energy systems to identify energy conservation measures. These systems include boilers, chillers, compressors, air systems, thermal oxidizers, industrial processes and heat recovery opportunities. I am able to leverage powerful tools built into Excel such as Power Query, as well as programmable Open Modelica simulations of energy systems. In addition, I provide life-cycle, NPV, IRR calculations to establish project feasibility.
