MEP ENGINEERING FOR HIGH-VALUE ENVIRONMENTS
Mixed-Use
Residential over office, hotel over retail, and the cooling plant that has to serve both schedules. Two projects from the founder’s prior practice in Boston, shown as sustainability and energy consulting experience; Resilient Equities is licensed in Florida and Puerto Rico.
Winthrop Center — 53-story mixed-use tower, Boston (founder, prior employer)
321 residential units, 750,000 sq ft of commercial space, and a 550-space garage. As lead sustainability consultant, the founder advised the developer and architects through the BPDA and MEPA environmental design review, using 3D building energy modeling to select the MEP design options that delivered the deepest energy savings. Outcome: LEED Platinum, WELL Gold, and certification as a Passive House office building — reported at completion as the largest of its kind. Work performed under a previous employer.
Back Bay Parcel 12 — hotel and office over the Massachusetts Turnpike, Boston (founder, prior employer)
655,000 sq ft of office, hotel, retail, and restaurant space with below-grade parking, built as a deck over I-90. The founder advised the architects and the HVAC and plumbing design teams as lead sustainability consultant during design, targeting LEED Platinum and applying Passive House envelope principles to cut energy use while improving indoor air quality. Work performed under a previous employer.
