About Jermy Thomas

I’m a Mechanical and Software Engineer with five years of hands-on experience turning building energy science into production code and measurable savings.• Energy & simulation: I design and maintain advanced solutions—built on EnergyPlus and complementary engines—that drive data center and HVAC efficiency from concept through validation.• Full-stack development: I craft robust C++ and Python tools to automate workflows, analyze simulation data, and power real-time dashboards.• Project leadership: I steer cross-functional teams of ~10 engineers and researchers on U.S. DOE-funded initiatives, delivering on schedule and under budget.• Domain strengths: HVAC system design, heat-transfer analysis, controls optimization, and occupant thermal comfort.I thrive at the intersection of mechanical systems and software, translating complex thermodynamics into elegant tools that cut energy use and carbon emissions. Let’s connect if you’re pushing the boundaries of high-performance buildings, data-center cooling, or energy-focused software solutions.

Experience

1. Researcher

   National Laboratory of the Rockies

   Jun 2021 — Present · Golden, CO, US

   Co-designed a Python executor to run 200+ BOPTEST cases across 16 climates / 5 HVAC archetypes; automated post-processing and live KPI dashboards (Grafana/InfluxDB) on AWS to support EPA ENERGY STAR evaluation: Built HELICS workflows coupling EnergyPlus with Python thermal/reliability/cost engines to simulate and optimize data centers; authored user guides and an NREL Software Record; delivered external training (~50 attendees): Implemented features in the radiant heating module; contributed to global-state removal and performance/clean-code efforts aligned to Coding Hygiene guidelines. & : ResStock-driven selection/modification of residential models by location/HVAC/attributes; delivered “what-if” dashboards and program-focused summaries for stakeholders. & : Coordinated multi-institution deliverables; mentored 4 interns whose modules now ship in production releases.
