Announcement: 360 Engineering Project Engineer Spencer Rioux Earns LEED AP BD+C

Posted on by 360 Engineering

360 Engineering is thrilled to have another USGBC LEED Accredited Professional.  Project Engineer, Spencer Rioux, recently earned his LEED AP BD+C through the U.S. Green Building Council.  Sustainability is at the forefront of our mechanical engineering consulting and design work, which makes certifications such as LEED so important.  Short for “Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design”, LEED is the most widely used green building rating system in the world.  The LEED for Building Design and Construction (LEED BD+C) rating system covers a large range of project types including new construction, major renovations, core and shell development, schools, retail, data centers, warehouses, hospitality, and healthcare.  This certification fits perfectly with the types of projects 360 Engineering works on daily.

Additional sustainability-focused certifications held by 360 Engineering team members include ASHRAE High-Performance Building Design and International WELL Building Institute WELL AP.

Announcement: 360 Engineering Project Manager Taylor Reese Earns WELL AP

Posted on by 360 Engineering

360 Engineering is proud to announce project manager Taylor Reese, PE recently earned his WELL Building Standard Professional Accreditation. As a WELL AP, Taylor joins a select group of industry professionals, becoming only the 12th member of Colorado’s WELL community to hold this designation! Delivered by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), the WELL Building Standard is a relatively new building rating system, similar to the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) LEED program. In addition to concentrating on the environmental impact of a building, WELL focuses on the health and well-being of the building occupants. The WELL concepts include Air, Water, Nourishment, Light, Fitness, Comfort, and Mind.

Some examples of features that may be found in a WELL certified space are:
  • Thermal gradients across open offices, allowing employees to work at a space temperature they find comfortable
  • Continual testing and treatment of potable water to maximize quality and taste, promoting better occupant hydration and mitigating the health effects of contaminants
  • Real-time air quality monitoring with occupant displays showing concentrations of airborne particulate, carbon dioxide, and ozone
  • Prominently located stairs with natural light and art in low-rise buildings, advocating active interior occupant circulation rather than elevator use
  • Melanopic lighting to encourage healthy circadian rhythms, helping employees get their recommended quality and quantity of sleep

Although the health and well-being of occupants is main goal of the WELL Building Standard, ancillary benefits may include increased property value and rent for building owners, and higher productivity, reduced sick days, and increased worker satisfaction for employers. WELL certification applies to new and existing buildings, new and existing tenant interiors, and core and shell for offices, multi-family residential, educational facilities, retail, restaurants, and commercial kitchens. If you are interested in exploring the possibility of pursuing WELL certification for your next project, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us for a discussion.

360 Engineering Team Building Retreat

If you’ve never tried an escape room, it’s worth giving a try!  It’s actually a fun challenge for all types of thinkers, not just mechanical engineers, although we were pretty successful in escaping.  We are always looking for ways to improve teamwork, this offered a great opportunity to work together and learn more about each other.

Announcement: 360 Engineering Welcomes Two New Engineers

We are excited about these two talented additions to our team!

 

Brennen Guy

Project Engineer – Mechanical

Brennen joined the 360 Engineering team in March.  He is a graduate of the University of Arizona, Tucson, receiving a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and Chemistry.  While in school, Brennen focused his attention on thermodynamics and has a background in pharmaceutical manufacturing.  Brennen chose Mechanical Engineering because he finds it really satisfying to see a project through the stages of concept to construction, especially knowing other people will benefit from a design he was a part of.  He also enjoys being constantly challenged with tasks that are logic and math based, but with a bit of creative flair thrown in the mix.

 

Kerri Zoetewey

Project Engineer – Mechanical

Kerri joined 360 Engineering in April, bringing 16 years of mechanical engineering experience to the team.  She is a graduate of Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, earning a BSE with a concentration in Mechanical Engineering.  Her strengths in math and science drew Kerri to choose mechanical engineering as a profession.  Kerri’s background includes 5 years with Trane and 11 years of engineering consulting.  She has worked on a wide-range of project types including tenant finish, office buildings, retail, restaurants, churches, schools, and multifamily.
