On behalf of the AEE Long Island Chapter, for our continuing ZOOM Meeting series on Monday March 27, 2023, we welcomed Daniel Trojanowski of Feedback Solutions, who presented “Real-time occupant-based Demand Control Ventilation – The GHG reduction solution for our time.”

The presentation addressed key verticals, competitive differentiators, the ease of implementation, and an in-depth view of the Feedback Solutions’ patented platform through a case study analysis and cover the ways in which the solution effectively tackles current legislation/mandates around energy efficiency and GHG reduction with a compelling ROI/payback period.

Feedback Solutions leverages best in class 3rd party people counting sensors with its patented technology platform to continuously calculate highly accurate, real-time occupant counts within each HVAC zone in a building. This data is then communicated via BACnet/IP, (sent as an analog input value to the BMS or DDC) so that ventilation requirements are optimized seamlessly based on actual occupant demand.

AEE-LI welcomed an NYIT Webinar on Thursday November 10, 2022 from 1-2 pm EST with Peter Curtis, who presented “A Global Perspective on Critical Power System Infrastructure for Next Generation Computing”.

This event was part of the Industry Leaders Lecture Series, sponsored by the College of Engineering and Computing Sciences.

Students and professionals learned from Peter Curtis, the author of the acclaimed IEEE Press book Maintaining Mission Critical Systems in a 24/7 Environment, about the skills, technologies, and processes to operate, manage, and maintain power quality and emergency systems as we transition into the next generation of computing and intelligence.

At the heart of technology behind today’s businesses is the power system and emergency backup necessary for continuous reliable operation. Peter Curtis, the founder of PMC Group I, LLC and a world-renowned author, will discuss the design and analysis of mission critical systems: how to reduce risk, comply with current policies and regulations, and maintain an appropriate level of reliability based on a facility’s risk tolerance. He will discuss the myriad challenges and issues facing industry engineers today such as safety, fire protection, and energy security, including the impact on business resiliency, data center efficiency, cyber security, and green power technology.

At the Long Island Chapter of the Association of Energy Engineers Zoom meeting on Monday October 24, 2022, we welcomed Jacob Goldman, Vice president of Energy Tax Savers, who presented on “How Research and Development Tax Credits Propel Innovation in the Green Building Industry”.  This presentation was designed to explain the expanded Research and Development Tax Credit and how it is utilized to increase innovation by building designers, engineers and equipment manufacturers in the High Performance and Green Building Industry. We will discuss how the credit allows for increased experimentation with new energy technologies and green design methods, and how to identify these R&D tax credit eligible activities.

Jacob Goldman is the Vice President of Energy Tax Savers (ETSI). He has a BS in Chemical Engineering, an MBA from the University of Maine at Orono, and is a LEED, AP.
