About Michael J. Smith

I provide sustainable engineering design guidance to reduce the impact buildings have on the environment. I am experienced in studying building physics to optimize energy performance, enhance indoor environmental quality and improve building water use efficiency. I have provided analysis and consulting services on a number of prestigious projects in numerous global markets. Capabilities:+Engineering design of building mechanical systems using technical analysis and dynamic simulations to create sustainable, efficient, and comfortable indoor environments.+Investigate the feasibility of reducing load profiles, energy cost, and emissions by studying the project site, form, facade design, life cycle economics, mechanical systems and material selections.+Develop Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models to analyze natural ventilation, underfloor air distribution, contaminant concentrations and to improve occupant comfort.+Perform detailed energy simulations and analyze results to identify potential optimization opportunities using compliance guidelines from ASHRAE Standard 90.1 and Title 24.+Prepare documentation for LEED credit submissions, code compliance and rebate authorities as well as respond to review comments for successful LEED certifications.+Optimize rainwater harvesting, occupant water utilization, and mechanical system water reclamation. Specialties:+Whole-Building Energy Simulations +Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling +Data Analysis, Visualization, and Presentation +Technical Drawing & Specification Review +Project Management & Coordination +LEED Consulting & Code Compliance Submissions +Certification & Incentive Program Documentation +Load Calculations & Reduction Strategies +Water Use Reduction, Reclamation & Reuse +Greenhouse Gas Emissions Accounting +Façade Condensation Risk Mitigation +Occupant Thermal Comfort Assessment +Visual Comfort & Shading Device Optimization +Building & Component Life Cycle Cost Analysis
