He also has a solid understanding and skillset in the technical aspects of building services, HVAC and critical energy management of smart and integrated connected facilities. His knowledge spans across multiple sectors including commercial, residential, education, health, IT, telecom and public construction projects, and this appointment places him in the perfect position to drive change.
