Mr. Johrden, for more than 13 years, he has designed and coordinated over 1,013 MEP/FP/FA projects with an emphasis on energy efficiency and sustainability. With his experience in planning and implementing multidisciplinary projects, he is devoted to fostering a more sustainable future for everyone.
The electrification of buildings in New York City is crucial for lowering greenhouse gas emissions and combatting global warming. Jonathan’s concentration is on HVAC Heat Pump electrification retrofit projects which assist in the conversion of existing building fossil fuel systems to cold climate heat pumps (ccASHPs) and other environmentally friendly alternatives. In an effort to reduce New York State’s dependency on non-renewable energy sources, he also focuses on various domestic hot water heat pumps (DHWHP) and waste heat recovery alternatives for multifamily apartment building systems.
