Greenhouse Gas and Clean Air Impacts of Green Municipal Projects
Conducted some of the analysis to estimate GHG and clean air impacts of projects funded by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities' Green Municipal Fund.

Energy Conservation Potential in ORC Buildings
Analyzed Ontario Realty Corporation building stock, to estimate potential and target efforts for energy conservation. Estimated the GHG reduction impacts from a slate of measures.

Review of Commissioning Processes and Tools
Assessed the Canadian marketplace for commissioning of commercial buildings, using available literature and targeted interviews. Profiled commissioning tools currently in use and the market for future tools. Provided recommendations for tool development.

RCMP: GHG Inventory Updates
Updated the inventory of GHG emissions from RCMP facilities three times after the initial estimate for the Federal House in Order projected listed below.

OERD - Evaluation
Provided technical expertise to evaluate R&D programs on distributed generation technologies for NRCAN’s Office of Energy Research and Development.
