PERSONNEL The five principals and one associate of GARD Analytics have been associated with GARD and its ancestor companies for between 10 and 40 years. The principals devote full time efforts to building and systems energy and environmental studies and related R&D work.
Jason Glazer, P.E., President, Software Development, Codes and Standards Mr. Glazer is a registered professional mechanical engineer with 14 years of
experience. His specialties include the use of building simulation software,
analysis of utility rates and tracking building energy codes. He performs
comparative energy and economic analyses of commercial building heating and
cooling systems using the DOE-2 hourly building simulation program. Mr. Glazer
is currently a member of the committee responsible for the revision of ASHRAE
Standard 90.1 (the commercial building energy code) and the chair of the Energy
Cost Budget subcommittee. Mr. Glazer has authored
software to evaluate complex utility rates, manage large scale parametric
analyses, translate between different energy simulation languages and to
estimate energy savings opportunities in industrial facilities. He has developed
a software screening tool for the USDOE to allow analysis
and evaluation of integrated building cooling heating power (BCHP) systems. Mr.
Glazer developed many of the utilities that come with EnergyPlus including
EP-Launch and IDF Editor. Mr.
Glazer received a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the
University of Illinois at Chicago and is a member of ASHRAE. Mr. Glazer received
his professional engineering license in 1998. Mr. Glazer's e-mail address is

and applications engineering programs, concentrated in the principal areas of
commercial and industrial building energy efficiency studies, development and
application of building and energy systems simulation/analysis software, and
laboratory and field testing of air treatment systems. Mr. Henninger served as
Manager of GARD's Energy Applications Group for 15 years where he supervised the
energy and economic analysis services provided in the past by GARD and now by
GARD Analytics. Currently, Mr. Henninger is managing several programs for the
Gas Technology Institute including the Monitoring and Analysis of the Impact of
ASHRAE Standards 62.1, 62.2 and 90.1 and the Energy and Economic Analysis Energy
Efficient Alternatives for Commercial Buildings. Mr. Henninger is a registered
professional engineer and member of ASHRAE. He received a Masters in Mechanical
Engineering from the University of Illinois. Mr.
Henninger's e-mail address is rhenninger Michael J. Witte, Ph.D., Energy Analysis Dr. Witte is a mechanical engineer with almost 20 years experience. Dr. Witte
supports GARD's energy program activities by performing software development,
energy simulation studies, economic analysis and data analysis. He has developed
a database to estimate the overall resource energy efficiency and related
emissions of delivering natural gas and electricity to end-use natural gas or
electric appliances. He performs commercial building system energy analysis
studies using DOE-2 and BLAST with an emphasis on gas cooling equipment. He
developed the underlying simulation models used in GTI's DesiCalc™ desiccant
system analysis tool and the Building Energy Analyzer. Currently, Dr. Witte is
principal investigator on a program to provide testing, user support and
training, and software development for DOE's EnergyPlus program. Dr. Witte
received a Doctorate in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois.
He has authored technical publications on simulation software, solar energy,
double-diffusive convection and HVAC design criteria, and he is a member of
ASHRAE, ASME, and the International Building Performance Simulation
Association. Dr.
