Mr. Sherwin has twelve years experience in energy
field monitoring and instrumentation. This includes selection,
calibration, setup, and installation of experimental apparatus.
Coincidental to these activities is the retrieval, analysis,
and presentation of data and results. He also has technical experience
in the installation, diagnosis and repair of HVAC and electrical
systems. He has been involved in numerous projects involving
both field and laboratory monitoring. These were largely detailed
monitoring efforts that characterized both thermal and electrical
energy performance. Mr. Sherwin has been in charge of instrumentation
and evaluation efforts for utility projects, the Building America
program, DOE's Zero Energy Homes effort and most of the residential
monitoring projects at Florida Solar Energy Center. Over the
last two years, he has also assisted others at FSEC with evaluation
of high efficiency air conditioner condenser fan designs. This
laboratory work has resulted in several pending patents and development
of technology that has large potential to reduce space cooling
energy use in U.S. homes.
