SPECIALTY SERVICES
TAKE YOUR TECHNICIAN'S TO THE NEXT LEVEL
UNDERSTAND FRESH AIR REQUIREMENTS, FREE COOLING, AND VENTILATION
Airflow & Balancing
Specialized expertise in NCI-Style Air balancing. I help contractors identify invisible system restrictions that kill efficiency and equipment longevity. If the air isn't moving right, the SEER rating doesn't matter.
Demand Controlled Ventilation (DCV)
Optimizing CO2-based ventilation to slash energy spend while maintaining ASHRAE 62.2 compliance. I specialize in real-world implementation that satisfies both the building engineer and the utility auditor.
Economizer Optimization
85% of economizers in the field are failed or bypassed.
I specialize in forensic audits, repair, and "commissioning of "free-cooling" cycles to ensure maximum ROI for commercial clients
REVOLUTIONIZING TECH ONBOARDING: VR & SIMULATION-BASED TRAINING
Immersive VR Simulation (Oculus/Meta Quest)
We take training off the whiteboard and put it into the headset. Techs experience high-stakes diagnostics-from electrical to full system commissioning—using the industry-leading Interplay Learning platform.
Team-Based Training Exercises
Facilitate "Big Screen" training sessions where the entire team watches the simulation live. This encourages collective problem-solving, creates a competitive learning culture, and allows senior techs to mentor juniors in real-time.
Quantifiable Progress Tracking
No more "vague" training. Utilizing a robust administrative dashboard, I provide leadership with real-time data on module completion, diagnostic accuracy, and technician readiness scores.
"Stop 'guessing' if your new hires are ready for the field. I implement immersive, 3D training environments that allow technicians to diagnose and repair real-world HVAC problems in a zero-risk virtual space."
