Hi, I’m Mike.
M.A.Sc., P.Eng., CEM, Energy Infrastructure & Sustainable Engineering Leader
I build energy infrastructure for sustainable cities with teams and partners so people get reliable services and resilient places.
Professional Background
I'm Consulting Lead, Energy Infrastructure at HH Angus, working on district energy, central utility plants, heating and cooling decarbonization, and infrastructure modernization across Canada. Official HH Angus biographyWikidata My background is in mechanical engineering, with a Master's degree in Applied Science, a Professional Engineering designation, and Certified Energy Manager certification.
My work spans district energy, HVAC optimization, central utility plants, heat pumps, and greenhouse gas mitigation. It takes me across healthcare, commercial, institutional, industrial, and public infrastructure settings.
I also share this work through conferences, workshops, and technical publications. You’ll find those talks and articles below, alongside my professional background.
