Sheldon received a Bachelor of Applied Sciences (BASc) in Chemical Engineering and a Master of Engineering (MEng) in Clean Energy Engineering from the University of British Columbia. His enthusiasm for energy, technology, and the environment led him to the field of energy efficiency when he joined SES in 2013. His experience has centered on controls recommissioning, retro commissioning and measurement and verification projects. Sheldon believes technology plays a key role in reducing building energy consumption by improving control logic, reducing waste from inefficient technologies, and adopting new standards. He is driven to provide quality services and innovative energy conservation opportunities.

As a Senior Energy Efficiency Engineer, Sean aspires to create positive change in the world through energy conservation and sustainable living. He attended the University of Guelph where he received a degree in Environmental Engineering and prior to joining SES spent four years working in environmental consulting conducting environmental assessments and reclamation projects. His interest in energy and the environment led him to obtain a Masters in Clean Energy Engineering from the University of British Columbia in 2012. Sean joined SES in 2013 and has experience in HVAC control strategy and implementation. He is currently working as part of the mechanical design team completing building HVAC and heat recovery system retrofits.

Estella graduated with a master’s degree in Clean Energy Engineering from the University of British Columbia. She is a Decarbonization consultant with more than ten years of working experience in building recommissioning, HVAC optimization, trend analytics, energy auditing, and renewable energy systems. She has reduced her carbon footprint and promoted sustainability in different building types including recreation centers, hospitals, research labs, office buildings, schools, industrial facilities, and shopping malls. She believes all buildings should be intelligent and adaptive to occupant’s needs.

Jorge received his degree in Industrial Engineering at the Universidad Javeriana in Bogota, Colombia, and his passion for renewable energy and sustainability led him to obtain a Masters in Clean Energy Engineering at the University of British Columbia. He became interested in building efficiency when he first heard about Net Zero Energy buildings. Working on projects that involve renewable energy and unconventional energy efficiency technologies has been his greatest interest. One day, Jorge hopes to work with and help develop the clean energy industry in Latin America.

Ever since IPCC’s third assessment report came out in 2001, Anders knew he wanted – needed – to stake out a career that meant actually building a sustainable society, not just talking about it. He received his Master’s in Sustainable Energy in 2006 and has since managed increasingly more complex projects within CleanTech and renewable energy, focusing on solar PV and biomass facilities. Anders enjoys being in a leadership position where he can elevate those around him to perform at their highest potential and is proud of the amazing project teams he has lead to success designing, procuring and building systems that to this day continue to produce clean energy. Outside work Anders likes to spend his time traveling, climbing, dancing, massaging, playing with his housemate’s dog and being a general goofball with his friends and family.

Stephanie is a professional engineer with a wide range of project experience including performing energy efficiency audits, coordinating project implementations, and commissioning.

Ben has always had a passion for GHG reduction, from a young age helping his family pack books for their green publishing company to August 2022 where he was installing solar panels on Gilford Island for the Kwikwasut’inuxw Haxwa’mis First Nations Band. He graduated from the University of Victoria with a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) in Mechanical Engineering with specializations in thermodynamics and energy systems and joined SES in the fall of 2022. He has experience in renewable energy solutions and energy management as well as hands-on experience installing and managing building energy solutions. Ben does everything in his power to reduce energy output and GHG gasses and is happy to be working amongst like-minded people at SES.

It’s been over 13-years of Pardeep putting his mind towards reducing energy-use in buildings by optimizing Building Controls and Energy Management.

Pardeep graduated from BCIT’s ECET program, specializing in Automation & Instrumentation. In a chance conversation with a respected instructor, Pardeep decided to work in service of the environment as opposed to the common route of graduates finding work in the Alberta oil sands.

Through this focus on environmentalism, he’s pursued finding and creating functional energy reduction strategies with new and existing technologies within Building Automation Systems. As part of this, Pardeep also researches and develops new building automation systems to empower end-users, and was part of a team that received funding from the Federal Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) program for creating innovative and scalable Energy Management systems.

When he isn’t working, you’ll probably find Pardeep out in the woods looking for mushrooms or in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia.
