Robert Mancini, P.Eng. has dedicated his career to improving energy efficiency and reducing our carbon footprint.
He has reduced GeoExchange heat pump system costs through improved design. He has designed commercial and institutional buildings with various ground exchanger configurations and tracked both construction costs as well as annual Total Energy Use Index (TEUI) for these systems. This has provided the firm with a distinct advantage over others.
Mr. Mancini has assisted in GeoExchange design for projects as far away as South Africa, Australia and China.
