Peter Kleinhenz, MS, PE
Peter is an engineer with Go Sustainable Energy. He received his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Dayton (UD). Through his professional and academic career Peter has completed over 50 industrial and 20 commercial energy audits. Along with energy auditing, Peter also has significant experience with building energy modeling, HVAC commissioning, green design consulting and energy efficiency measurement and verification.
Before working for Go, Peter worked in the UD Industrial Assessment Center as a graduate assistant. With a strong interest in thermodynamics and energy efficiency, his education focused on analyzing and simulating building and industrial energy systems to optimize their efficiency. Though most of his academic work concentrated on HVAC and industrial process energy efficiency, he also has strong research experience in renewable energies and sustainable design.
Peter has also spent considerable time abroad involved with engineering projects in Bolivia and Brazil. These projects dealt with energy analysis and appropriate technology design. Through these experiences he has analyzed the generation, transmission and distribution of electric utilities for small rural towns as well as conducted analysis and design work on biomass combustion stove technologies.
Peter is very passionate about energy efficiency and sustainable design. He believes they are a necessary investment for society and should always be cost effective through good engineering. With great pride in his field, Peter continues researching and learning new ideas in the energy field and strives to stay involved in it through publications and presentations.
