Collaborative team player supporting junior engineers and driving R&D initiatives across domains

CTRLS Data Centers. October 2023 - Till date Energy Engineer (Energy Conservation and Sustainability).

• Developed and maintained detailed energy models using eQUEST for Tier III/IV data centers, including HVAC systems, envelope, and schedules; performed parametric analysis to evaluate ECMs and compare baseline vs proposed scenarios for compliance and energy savings.
• Conducted performance-based simulations to support ASHRAE 90.4 and LEED compliance using eQUEST, analyzing cooling system configurations and annual load profiles.
• Performed data analysis using Excel, Python, and Power BI to track PUE, energy consumption trends, and load profiles.
• Recommended low- and no-cost ECMs that achieved up to 15% annual energy savings, supporting sustainability and compliance goals.
• Collaborated with MEP teams and facility managers to implement solutions aligned with ASHRAE 90.4, LEED, and local energy codes.
• Supported and mentored a team of two Energy and R&D Associate Engineers in technical analysis, tool development, and research initiatives.
