Curt Hepting is president of EnerSys Analytics Inc., an engineering consulting firm specializing in building energy/economic analysis and load research projects. He provides technical expertise on building energy performance projects for utilities, government agencies, and other clients. Projects include building energy analysis and simulations, spreadsheet and database applications development, computer programming, and the development of custom energy analysis software tools. Mr. Hepting has a BASc in Architectural Engineering from the University of Colorado, where he specialized in Building Energy Efficiency. He has authored several professional papers on the topic of building energy analysis and methods, and advises the Canadian Green Building Council on energy issues pertaining to LEED. Mr. Hepting is a registered professional engineer in British Columbia and in the State of Colorado, and past president of the B.C. Chapter of the Association of Energy Engineers.
Ian Beausoleil-Morrison
Ian Beausoleil-Morrison is an Associate Professor in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering where he holds the Canada Research Chair in the Modelling and Simulation of Innovative Energy Systems for Residential Buildings. He is also an adjunct Associate Professor at both Dalhousie University and the University of Victoria. His research is focused on the cogeneration of heat and electricity, alternative cooling approaches, and maximizing solar energy utilization. Prior to joining Carleton in 2007 he worked for 16 years at Canada's pre-eminent government energy research laboratory, the CANMET Energy Technology Centre, where he conducted research and developed building simulation tools to support industry and government programmes. He initiated and led a research project on micro-cogeneration for the International Energy Agency, is Vice-President of the International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA), and has acted as scientific chair for numerous conferences on the topic of energy use in buildings. He has authored or co-authored more than 35 peer-reviewed papers and was the recipient of IBPSA's Outstanding Young Contributor Award in 2001. Michel Bernier is currently a professor at École Polytechnique de Montréal where he is responsible for the HVAC program in the department of mechanical engineering. Before joining École Polytechnique, M. Bernier worked as a consultant in HVAC design and as a researcher at the Institute for Research in Construction of the National Research Council of Canada. His current research interests are: simulating zero net energy homes, modeling and simulating ground-coupled heat pump systems; modeling and performing experiments on windows and on residential electric hot water tanks, prediction of pumping energy in HVAC systems. He is a past-president of the Montréal chapter of ASHRAE and a registered professional engineer in the province of Québec. He obtained his bachelor’s degree from Ecole Polytechnique de Montréal in 1980, his M.Eng degree from Carleton University in 1985 and his Ph.D. from McGill University in 1991. Jeff Blake is a registered professional engineer in the province of Ontario with over twenty years of experience in building energy and loads analysis, building energy conservation and building simulation software development. Mr. Blake is the team leader for the Simulation Tools team within the Sustainable Building and Communities Group at Natural Resources Canada's CANMET Energy Technology Centre. Mr. Blake has been involved in the development of several building energy simulation programs including BESA (Building Energy Systems Analysis), Building PULSE, ALCAP (Air Leakage Control and Assessment Procedure), HOT2000 and HOT3000. Alan Fung holds
a BSc in Computer Science/Mathematics and BEng, MASc and PhD in Mechanical
Engineering. He is a member of the Association of Profession Engineers
of Nova Scotia (APENS), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME),
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE), and International Building Performance Simulation Association
(IBPSA-Canada), and serves as an external technical reviewer for the
World Building Congress conference, eSim, and International Journal
of Energy Research (IJER). Stephen L. Kemp is currently the Software Development manager at Enermodal Engineering where he has developed a number of energy models for: heat recovery; solar air heating; solar water heating; combined heat and power; gas-cooling; desiccant and evaporative cooling; and fenestration thermal and optical performance. He is also an expert in a number of computer modeling tools, including TRANSYS, DOE, ESP-r, ENERPASS, HOT2000 and Radiance. Mr. Kemp's other duties at Enermodal include green building design facilition, working with building design teams and ownwers to improve the sustainable aspects of their buildings. Steve has a B.Sc. in Physics from Dalhousie Univerity. He continued his education at the former Technical University of Nova Scotia (now Dalhousie) receiving a B.Eng. and M.A.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering. He is a registered professional engineer in the province of Ontario. Lukas Swan is a PhD student and lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Dalhousie University. He is developing an energy and greenhouse gas emissions model of the Canadian residential housing stock to evaluate the impact of new technologies and materials when applied the sector. The model utilizes both the ESP-r simulation engine and neural network techniques to account for the building and the occupants. Mr. Swan completed his BASc in Mechanical Engineering at California Polytechnic State University and his MASc at Dalhousie studying brushless DC motors for use with circulating pumps in solar collector systems. Radu
Zmeureanu is professor and director of the Centre for Building
Studies in the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science, Concordia
University, Montreal, Quebec. He obtained B.Eng. and M.Eng. from the
Civil Engineering Institute, Bucharest (Romania), graduated from the
Post Graduate Program in Informatics and Mathematics for Research
(UNESCO), University of Bucharest (Romania), and obtained his Ph.D.
degree at Concordia University. He joined Concordia University in
1983 as a Research Associate in the Centre for Building Studies, Faculty
of Engineering. He became Assistant Professor in 1987, Associate Professor
in 1990, and Professor in 1999. Before joining Concordia he taught
at universities in Algeria and Romania. He worked as consultant for
national and international organizations such as Natural Resources
Canada, Natural Resources Quebec, Hydro Québec, Bell Canada,
United Nations, U.S. Department of Energy, World Bank, Public Works
Canada, National Research Council of Canada, City of Montréal.
He is member of Ordre des Ingénieurs du Québec, American
