BEST Center is made up of dedicated staff and members. This is the latest spotlight in a series about our community.
“I teach energy management and building automation systems at Delaware Technical Community College. Before I started teaching, I worked over 40 years as a licensed engineer. I started teaching because I wanted to share the wealth of knowledge that I gained from working on projects over the years and keep the engineering spirit going. Building automation systems is extremely important for combating climate change through optimizing energy efficiency. My home has net zero emissions; and the simplicity is in the design itself. I want to teach the next generation of engineers about how just orienting appliances and investing in good ventilation systems can reduce energy consumption drastically. The BEST Center has given me valuable information about HVAC controls systems which I incorporate into my classes as well as my home.”
