David Ward, P.E., LEED AP founded EE&D in 2001, and is the principal engineer. Ward has over 25 years of experience in construction, contracting, engineering and project development of mechanical systems in the commercial, industrial, institutional and government sectors. He holds three patents for methods of HVAC and refrigeration system optimization.

Ward worked in construction installing and servicing HVAC and refrigeration systems for 10 years before getting his degree in mechanical engineering. For several years after earning his engineering degree, Ward worked as a construction project manager on the installation of energy conservation projects. For the past 15 years, Ward has been involved with all aspects of the development and installation of energy conservation projects. This includes; facility energy use audits, building benchmarking and modeling, retro-commissioning, project development, system design, life cycle cost analysis, construction, commissioning, and measurement and verification of energy savings.

In order to design or retro-commission a building mechanical system, or develop an energy efficiency program, our engineers first learn from the building occupants and operators. After the project is completed, we make sure the operators are well trained and the occupants are aware of whatbehaviors are most efficient when utilizing the building.

EE&D has been involved in over $200 million of large-scale energy savings performance contracting projects in the federal, state and municipal sectors.

Energy Engineering & Design is a Veteran Owned Small Business.

Energy Engineering and Design, Inc. was selected under Massachusetts State Contract PRF-62. to be on the standing list of firms qualified to provide Performance Contracting Program Consultation and Retro-Commissioning Services. This is a state wide contract under the jurisdiction of the Operational Services Division and allows eligible entities an exemption to the standard procurements requirements of 800 CMR 21.00 for procurement of EE&D’s services as described above.

Eligible entities, such as cities, towns, school districts and other public agencies will need to execute the appropriate contract documents; however, they are not required to conduct a separate competitive procurement since all Statewide Contracts are the result of a competitive process.
