Andrew Wiegand, P.E., LEED AP

Programs Engineering Lead

I find energy efficiency like a great puzzle to figure out. Find out what is wasteful and then find a solution that fits the customer. There are so many new technologies to figure out, or revamps on older technologies. I’m always seeing unique solutions to problems. The vast variety of technologies we deal with makes a consistent and fun learning experience since we are constantly reviewing new technologies.

After six years in the US Navy Nuclear Program, Andrew went to college and received a degree in Mechanical Engineering at Southern Illinois-Carbondale. From there he joined Michaels Energy in 2008, where he works on feasibility studies, retro-commissioning studies, ASHRAE level two studies, measurement and verification, and custom rebate calculations. He has worked with customers large and small, and projects simple to complex.

Outside of work Andrew likes playing piano, kayaking, cross country skiing, hockey, and mountain biking. He enjoys traveling to new places, meeting interesting people, and how different cultures have adapted to the same problems. Also he loves to watch any big sporting event around (regardless of the sport or culture).
