As a mechanical building services professional with over 7 years of experience spanning the Middle East, Singapore, and Australia, I possess a deep understanding of construction design consultancy. My expertise encompasses mechanical concept design, design development, construction supervision, scope management, and interdisciplinary coordination. Over the past 3 years at SEED Engineers, I have expanded my skillset to include sustainable design and engineering modelling, with a focus on ESD strategies, energy efficiency analyses, thermal comfort studies, and advanced modelling techniques for solar PV, carpark ventilation CFD, kitchen odour, and bushfire tenability assessments.
In my daily work, I apply my expertise to deliver high-performance building solutions, undertaking Section J assessments, building performance evaluations, and optimising mechanical system designs to achieve sustainable and financially viable outcomes for my clients across a diverse range of projects.
A premium residential development with a recreational club house, including amenities such as a swimming pool and gym, with a concept of ‘zero net electricity cost’ to the residents. CFD modelling for the carpark mechanical ventilation performance solution. Detailed solar PV and whole-building energy modelling and simulation to predict the energy costs associated with the development for a future period in a worse-case climate scenario.
Conducted an internal tenability assessment for a high school development with 3 blocks in order to assess compliance of the internal zones in the case of a bushfire and establish any refuge spaces, through bushfire radiation modelling.
Conducted a feasibility study for a multi-level carpark for the new Sydney Football Stadium, comprising of 6 levels and parking capacity for 1500 vehicles, using CFD modelling and ventilation performance solution.
Conducted a meteorological assessment for the 3-level basement carpark exhaust discharge to demonstrate compliance for low-level discharge as part of a site odour impact assessment.
A mixed-use development with a mix of luxury residences, retail spaces, restaurants, F&B outlets, and workspaces. CFD modelling was used to assess and mitigate the odour arising from the multiple commercial kitchen exhausts in the precinct.
A mixed-use development with a mix of hotel residences, retail spaces, restaurants and F&B outlets. Meteorological modelling was used to conduct an air quality impact assessment and mitigate the odour arising from commercial kitchen exhausts in 2 tenancy units that were causing non-compliance issues on site.
Part of the mechanical design team for a large residential apartment development in Sydney for Sekisui House, including detailed mechanical load calculations, equipment sizing, and a carpark ventilation performance solution using CFD modelling.
A residential apartment building with studio-type units over 4 levels and amenities on the top-most level. Conducted CFD modelling for the naturally ventilated carpark below the apartments and a whole-building energy model with a chilled water system to establish the HVAC sizing loads.
A residential apartment building with 2-bed and 3-bed units over 5 levels. Conducted a Section J assessment through JV3 energy modelling to propose a high-efficiency HVAC system with reduced refrigerant pipework insulation.
Led the project in conducting a ventilation performance solution for the carpark using CFD modelling, an annual whole-building energy model, and a thermal comfort model of the retail warehouse zones.
Provided proof-of-concept for the mechanical design via energy modelling and carpark CFD modelling, ensuring compliance with Green Star and NABERS. SEED proposed an R32 hybrid Variable Refrigerant Flow system for heating and cooling for the primary office spaces.
Conducted energy modelling and thermal comfort modelling for the warehouses to provide design verification and optimisation for the proposed HVAC design.
