Sean Kapp
Sean is an energy engineer who works on auditing and commissioning projects. He focuses on providing technical and economic analyses to support recommendations for energy efficiency and cost-savings. Leveraging his background in both energy and scientific computing, he also contributes to large-scale data analysis projects. His work bridges technical precision with broader sustainability goals, helping clients make informed decisions that balance their goals around performance, cost, and environmental impact.
Sean graduated from the University of Dayton with a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering degree, followed by a Master of Science in Engineering Management. Currently he is pursuing his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from UD, researching flexible and informative energy modeling techniques using machine learning. These models would enable high-level analysis of building systems with minimal input data. Other publications of his include impact analysis of energy efficient technologies at larger economic and environmental scales.
During his time at UD, Sean was also a member of the UD Industrial Assessment Center, completing over 50 energy audits of industrial and commercial facilities across Ohio. This allowed him to observe, study, and analyze numerous types of processes and equipment. He also taught Manufacturing Processes, an undergraduate class about engineering analysis of deformation, machining, and joining processes, with an emphasis on sustainability.
Sean is a southwest Ohio native and enjoys exploring the region inside and out. He spends his free time with family and friends at local restaurants, performances, and parks. At home, Sean can be found reading, watching movies, and playing the trumpet or piano.
