Wes has over fifteen years of leadership experience in the built environment on both sides of the Atlantic, working in USA, Ireland, and UK with construction, facility conditions assessments, energy management, and commissioning projects. Wes is responsible for developing and implementing Building Evolutions vision, mission and philosophy. Wes is both active in the long-term planning and operations of the company, as well as day to day operations.

As principal of Stanhope Developments he brought over 370 commercial and residential construction projects from proposal through to design and completion in Ireland and UK. After returning to USA, Wes managed the energy auditing and retro-commissioning of over 23 million square feet of US Federal Facilities. Wes also has extensive experience managing and implementing assessments and commissioning of large scale private universities, commercial properties, state facilities, non-profits, and large multifamily developments.

Wes is also an Adjunct Faculty at Mount Wachusett Community College and Boston Architectural College.

When Wes is not in the office or commissioning a building, he is typically spending time with family and friends, coaching youth soccer, visiting family in Ireland, traveling, or taking a ride on one of his motorcycles.

Ken has over 20 years of building science and building performance experience. Ken is a
technical expert of hygrothermal dynamics within buildings, specializing in building enclosures
for both new construction and retrofits. He brings a wide perspective that building performance
includes many factors, including durability, economic impact, environmental impact, risk
management, comfort, operation and maintenance. Ken leads the BEC team through enclosure
assessments and investigations. He engages with design teams to achieve performance
objectives.

Ken’s past experience includes serving as technical lead on the National Grid Deep Energy
Retrofit (DER) Pilot (2009-2013) in MA and RI., guiding retrofits of more than 40 buildings and
achieved average measured post-retrofit performance of 22 kBtu/sf-year. He was a principal
author of the MassSave DER Builder Guide. He led several Building America Program research
projects focused on retrofit including a masonry wall retrofit pilot in Chicago.

When Ken is not examining existing buildings, guiding construction details or diving deep into
building plans, he enjoys his family and being active outdoors. Ken lives in the vibrant
community of Maynard, Massachusetts where he participates in various commissions and
committees and is often found covered in sawdust and conducting the evolution of his own 100+
year-old home.

Chris has over 10 years of building science and performance experience. He has a passion for energy efficiency and problem solving in all aspects of the built environment. He performs facility condition assessments, energy usage analysis, and project commissioning.

Chris’s experience specialized in residential energy efficiency. He has performed more than 3000 home energy assessments throughout his career. He also managed a team of home energy specialists, performing assessments on behalf of the utility Sponsored Mass Save program, performing 9000+ assessments, and more than $16MM in revenue per year.

When not improving the performance of other buildings, he’s focusing on improving his own nearly 200 year-old home in Hopkinton, MA, as well as enjoying time with his wife and daughter.

Aedan is a junior at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) studying Mechanical Engineering. He is passionate about learning how mechanical systems operate and how to assess, analyze, and improve various building conditions. His drive pushes him to engage in a “hands on” environment whether it involves doing project work in or out of the office. While working at BEC, Aedan manages a wide range of tasks to gain more knowledge and experience.

When Aedan is not busy with work in the office or studying late at night at WPI, he enjoys spending quality time with his friends and family, watching basketball and American football, and listening to all genres of music, especially Classic Rock. At WPI, Aedan is also involved in the Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers (SASE) and the Korean Student Alliance (KSA).

Darius is a recent graduate from Worcester Polytechnic Institute with a BS in Architectural Engineering and a minor in Sustainability Engineering. He earned recognition and awards for his projects during his academic career, which focused on topics such as sustainability, construction, and green design strategies for buildings. Darius is dedicated to making buildings of all kinds more sustainable, especially equitable housing for low-income communities through Passive House certification. His passion pushes him to use and continue learning about energy simulation software, thermal bridge mitigation strategies, building enclosure systems, and HVAC systems.

When Darius is not mulling over energy models, he enjoys cycling, playing video games with his friends, and, as a New York City native, exploring what Worcester has to offer. He has a long list of hobbies to try and too many movie references he doesn’t yet understand.

Isaiah has over a decade of engineering experience, with the majority of that focused on building science and energy efficiency. He has performed audits and assessments on buildings of all types including single family homes, multi-family high rises, medical facilities and commercial spaces.

Isaiah applies his engineering and his on-site experience to identify performance, efficiency, sustainability and durability opportunities for building enclosures and mechanical systems. His understanding of available technology and proven methods allows him to present cost effective solutions for building owners and tenants.
