consumption and costs while minimizing impact on the environment, yet promote reduction of the County’s overall energy footprint
by 40%. Over a ten year period. Provide energy education to County employees and the public/ private sectors, including residents
(homeowners), supporting the green and lean way to energy efficiency. As a member of the County’s Executive Energy Committee, I
assist with policy research and decisions, write RFP’s and IFB’s to solicit qualified companies to bid on County jobs, and support the
development of County energy policy in coordination with the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (MWCOG).
Participate in and direct studies, research, tests, and evaluations of new energy efficiency approaches, measures, practices, and
equipment. Establish energy conservation goals for the County, and research technology, as well as funding opportunities and make
recommendations for the use of alternative energy sources. Perform other related duties as required by the County’s Deputy
Executive. Duties are performed under general guidance of the Director of Facilities Management Department (FMD), and the Deputy
County Executive.
Significant Accomplishments:
• Wrote a new Natural Gas contract, and re-negotiated Natural Gas purchases for the County and Public Schools, which extends
