Manager of Engineering Services

Expertise

• Project Development & Energy Auditing
  
• Team Building and Project & Operations Management
  
• Energy Savings Performance Contracting (Domestic & International) 

Mr. Dell’Oso has 20-plus years of energy engineering, project development, and domestic & international performance contracting consulting experience. As Manager of Engineering Services, he maintains budgeting and P&L responsibility for various technical engagements; supervises, directs and motivates engineering resources to promote the successful delivery of customer centered solutions; and assures compliance and satisfaction with the pre-determined project execution plan. In addition, Mr. Dell’Oso remains active in the delivery of investment grade energy audits, feasibility studies, and related project development activities, including renewable technology assessments.

 For Energy Saving Performance Contract (ESPC) consulting projects, Mr. Dell’Oso provides technical examination of project baseline development, analysis of energy conservation measure formulation, applicability of measurement and verification protocols, validity of metering parameters and sampling criteria, as well as, project closeout procedures. Mr. Dell’Oso’s previous domestic and international ESPC program experience (baseline development, teaming arrangements and planning, design, installation, start-up, M&V, and Cx), within the Federal Government / ESCO sector, provides him with invaluable first-hand knowledge in discerning important technical aspects associated with successful ESPC development, risk mitigation, execution, and QC oversight. 

 Current projects under direct management include third-party oversight of several prominent State of Rhode Island Department of Administration (RIDOA) ESPC effort’s: John O. Pastore Complex (Cranston) project valued at $45M, a major portion of which includes the replacement and revitalization of 13-miles of underground steam distribution network and associated appurtenances; $7M project at the Zambarano Hospital Complex (Pascoag), whereby the prominent installation includes a central biomass boiler system and burner and control upgrades to the existing fossil fuel plant. In addition, Mr. Dell’Oso is managing the efforts of our third-party technical services contract for the Community College of Rhode Island (Warwick, Providence, Lincoln, and Newport). This $12M ESPC includes 27 energy conservation measures, for example: power factor correction, replacement of electric heating systems and kitchen equipment with natural gas fired equipment, and an upgrade of the building energy management platform to open source.   

Prior to joining Celtic Energy in 2003, he developed and managed diverse multi-million-dollar ESPCs under the auspices of the U.S. Federal Program: “Super-ESPC”. Project activities included being part of a successful ESCO proposal development team selected, by the U.S. Navy, to provide energy efficiency services to Navy installations throughout Europe. Mr. Dell’Oso managed the first turn-key Delivery Order under this contract, for Naval Air Station Sigonella, located on the island of Sicily (Italy). The major aspect of this challenging and unique energy project included forming teaming arrangements with: Swiss-based high-tech engineering multinational (lead construction entity); Rome-based design consultant; leading Danish manufacturer of intelligent lighting control equipment; UK-based open protocol EMS vendor; and a U.S. manufacturer of aircraft support systems. In addition, Mr. Dell’Oso managed the development, design and implementation effort at three VA Medical Centers (CT and MA). Projects included chilled water system upgrades, EMS expansion, water/sewer conservation, and facility wide steam and lighting systems upgrades.  

Mr. Dell’Oso received a B.T. in Energy Engineering Technology from Rochester Institute of Technology and has an A.S. in Mechanical Engineering Technology from Hartford State Technical College. He is a senior member of the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE) and the Cogeneration and Power Institute (division of AEE). He holds credentials as a Certified Energy Manager (CEM), Certified Measurement & Verification Professional (CMVP), and Certified Demand-Side Management Professional (CDSM), through AEE.
