Pyramid EES brings > 28 yr of diversified energy efficiency & analysis experience through its founder & principal energy engineer, Mr. Khaled A. Yousef, PE, experienced in providing wide range of tech assistance to customers in the USA (& international). Through his comprehensive building HVAC/energy systems experience, he supports customers in: energy savings performance contracts, energy audits, peak electrical load reduction, system optimization, Measurement & Verification (M&V), end-use data validation, visualization & analysis, energy master planning, energy modeling, electric & non-electric cooling, engineering economics, commissioning (Cx), CEC (California Energy Commission) EPIC programs (Electric Program Investment Charge/Elec Research), wide range of NYSERDA tech & prog. support (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority) to deployment, market develop & R&D, etc. Leads/manages technical & financial aspects of numerous projects, provides Q/A&Q/C, engineering/technical support, provides training/workforce development to customers/colleagues, performs independent technology feasibility & energy program evaluations.
Pyramid EES has extensive experience in use of building simulation software, Ex. DOE-2 (later eQUEST), ASEAM & other bin & custom methods, to simulate/analyze buildings & their associated mechanical and control systems. This experience/evaluations include but not limited to lighting & envelope upgrades, high efficiency gas, steam and elec HVAC systems, energy management & control systems (EMCS), HVAC auxiliaries, balance of plant (BOP), thermal energy storage TES systems using hot/cold water, steam accumulators, ice, low-, med- and high-pressure steam systems, geothermal heat pump systems, cogeneration, Combined Heat & Power(CHP), microturbines, fuel cells, solar-thermal, solar-electric photovoltaics PV, wind turbines, passive cooling methods, varying industrial & custom energy efficiency measures (EEMs), advanced biomass heating systems using premium wood pellets & low moisture wood chips, district heating and cooling systems, electrification & decarbonization support, radon mitigation/indoor air quality measures.
Although primary goal is to provide expert energy consulting and advisory services to customers, gov, State energy offices, and other consulting and engineering firms, our secondary goal offers relevant training in many energy and technical subjects, bring to the table hands-on experience/value. Expert and professional trainings services have come as natural evolution and extensions to continued consulting and SME advisory services.
Training Ex. including but not limited to CHP&CCHP, Energy Audits (Levels I, Level II, up to ASHRAE Level III Investment Grade), electric&non-electric cooling, Fundamentals of HVAC Calcs, Refrigerant Cycles, Types & Properties, Steam Systems/properties, Baseline Calibrations, End Used Breakouts & Energy Saving Reality Checks, Introduction to M&V, Commissioning (Cx), Chiller M&V & Water Properties, HVAC Basic Calculations, Introduction to self-learning using the 4 ASHRAE Handbooks, load calcs for proper system sizing, varying topics supporting advanced biomass heating systems, also called high-efficiency, low-emission (HELE) biomass, etc. Ran trainings based on my own hands on extensive experience in office & field. Done formal classroom & on the job training. Trainings beneficial & support customers’ energy, sustainability, system optimization, decarbonization & electrification needs.
Pyramid EES established 2012 as a New York based Professional Limited Liability Company (PLLC) by its founder Mr. Khaled A. Yousef, PE.
