Niels is a Professional Engineer, licensed Energy Advisor and LEED AP with over 35 years of engineering experience. In 2006 Niels was looking to re-direct his career path towards a more environmental track. As part of his research, he had an energy assessment done on his home and that very day signed up for a course to become a Certified Energy Advisor. He hasn’t looked back since. In the ensuing years his company Enerlytics Building Performance was born, staff were hired, and Niels developed into a leading specialist in the field of energy modeling Part 3 and Part 9 buildings.
What distinguishes Niels is that he loves to play with the software. He is continually curious about what happens if….and that means he has gained a depth of understanding beyond the norm and why Analytics forms part of the company name. Niels often serves on provincial and national technical committees and, as time permits, mentors other modelers and teaches Building Science. He also loves to talk to people—between being on the phone and playing around with models its a wonder he gets any real work done.
