Gordon SteadCommissioning Engineer, University of GeorgiaGordon Stead has served as the Commissioning Engineer at the University of Georgia since January 2022, developing the Cx Department with the brief of saving energy systematically over UGA’s 7.8 million square feet GFA, 440 conditioned buildings, and various District Energy Systems. With operations covering both New Construction and Existing Systems CX, he has learned that the most significant and scalable energy-savings strategies need to be analyzed and applied in a distinct way by owners of campus facilities compared to the mainstream strategies that are focused on the efforts of contractors and single buildings.
Gordon’s undergraduate degree is in Physics from the University of Oxford in Great Britain and he enjoyed a ten-year first career in teaching and educational middle-leadership before gaining his master’s in Engineering from UGA. He holds the LEED AP certification, is working towards the CEFP, and aims to complete CEM or EMP as soon as the experience prerequisites are satisfied!
