| STAFF PROFILE
Ryan Schmidt - Research Project Manager
Ryan Schmidt is a Research Project Manager at
the Heschong Mahone Group. His well-rounded background includes water
resources engineering and building science-based design. He also has
hands-on experience in residential construction, maintenance, and
performance evaluation. At HMG, Ryan provides simulation and other
technical support for multi-family and commercial building evaluation, as
well as design assistance projects. The vast potential for making
positive, cost-effective impacts in the comfort, health, and efficiency of
both new and existing buildings makes his role at HMG an exciting one.
An advocate for integrated design, Ryan
believes in systems-based building strategies and a multi-disciplinary
approach to evaluating and addressing environmental challenges. He spends
time away from work completing independent thesis research for an M.S. in
Environmental Studies at San Jose State University, where his emphases are
energy policy/resources and green building design. His thesis involves
post-occupancy analysis of a Bay Area Habitat for Humanity green
residential development.
Before returning to graduate school, Ryan
spent four years in the field of wastewater treatment systems
implementation and water resources design. His experience included project
management, system modeling and analysis, design, and construction
specifications for water supply, flood control, public works, and private
development projects. Most recently prior to joining HMG, Ryan was
employed as an evaluation and design consultant for a building performance
contractor in San Francisco. There he collaborated with homeowners,
architects, and builders to first understand and then cost-effectively
optimize the efficiency, comfort, and health of their residential new
construction and remodeling projects.
Ryan graduated magna cum laude with a B.S.
in civil engineering, and a minor in history, from Santa Clara University.
He is a registered professional civil engineer in the State of California,
a Certified Green Building Professional (CGBP), a Certified Energy Plans
Examiner (CEPE), and a member of the California Building Performance
Contractors Association (CBPCA).
