Shawn Brown, Ph.D.

Shawn leads Go’s large-scale energy analytics and measurement efforts, bringing more than fifteen years of experience delivering technically rigorous, utility-grade analysis for public and private sector clients. He has overseen approximately one thousand utility-scale measurement and verification (M&V) projects across compressed air systems, industrial processes, chiller plants, pumping systems, and HVAC, ensuring that reported savings are accurate, defensible, and suitable for regulatory and policy use. From 2009 through the conclusion of Dayton Power & Light’s efficiency programs in 2020, Shawn served as Go’s technical and project lead and primary point of contact for all M&V work in the DP&L territory.


Shawn also leads Go’s technology and intellectual property development. He is the architect of Go’s Energy Regression Generator (ERG), a proprietary analytics platform that can process millions of utility accounts to isolate weather-driven loads, temperature change points, and baseload energy use. ERG enables Go to deliver portfolio-scale analysis quickly and cost-effectively, supporting program design, building performance standards, and citywide energy planning.


In recent years, Shawn has directed Go’s multi-year energy analytics initiatives for Ohio cities, providing the data backbone for local energy policy, program design, resident engagement and the transition to building performance standards. His work helps municipalities convert raw utility and building data into clear, actionable metrics that support equitable, evidence-based decisions and measurable improvements in energy performance.


Shawn’s work is defined by disciplined data handling, careful validation, and a commitment to results that withstand scrutiny. His approach ensures that even complex, multi-source datasets can be relied upon for public policy, program evaluation, and long-term planning.


He holds a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering from Wright State University, a Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering from The Ohio State University, and a PhD in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan.
