Jeremy began his HVAC career at Pearson Engineering as a student co-op for seven months. As a co-op, he worked full time for a senior project engineer, and was immediately thrust into a series of complex HVAC challenges at St. Michael Hospital in Milwaukee. He conducted onsite verification of non-code compliant life safety systems, and produced AutoCAD drawings showing new construction to satisfy life safety codes. Working with the senior project engineer, he also developed AutoCAD drawings showing new and remodeled surgery suites at St. Michael Hospital.
After graduation, Jeremy joined ICONICA, where he designed retail, commercial, and indoor-water-park HVAC systems. After two years at ICONICA, he returned to Pearson Engineering, to continue the work he began as a co-op.
Jeremy has been an important member of the Pearson Engineering creative team. He has gained experience with new-system and retrofit-system design. He has developed special expertise on code compliance in a wide range of facilities, from healthcare to education.

School District 25, Arlington Heights, Illinois
Jeremy managed the project to add air conditioning to seven existing elementary schools and two middle schools serving 5,000 students in School District 25, Arlington Heights, Illinois. In this unique project, a two-pipe heating system was converted to a two-pipe heating and air conditioning system. This $10,000,000+ retrofit project would have cost at least $3,000,000 more and would have taken one more year to construct if conventional design practices had been followed. Energy saving features in the design are intended to prevent utility consumption from rising, even as air conditioning is added to the schools.
St. Joseph Hospital, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Waukesha Memorial Hospital, Wisconsin
St. Michael Hospital, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Pearson Engineering worked on numerous remodeling designs over a 10+ year span that began in 1997. Our most notable project spanned multiple years, and was a life safety upgrade to the entire facility. Every aspect of the HVAC system was verified for locations of fire, smoke, and combination dampers, and plans were updated to reflect the current state of systems and fire/smoke walls. Once the verification was complete, plans were created to modify locations of system dampers based on their need per code. Color-coded plans showing zones served by each AHU system, as well as locations of system dampers, were turned over to the Owner for future maintenance use.
Large Retail Facility, Menominee Falls, Wisconsin
Served as HVAC Designer for 100,000-square foot retail facility. Worked on a design team that included architects, interior designers, engineers (electrical, mechanical, structural, and plumbing), and construction. Created CAD drawings and calculated building loads and air requirements.
Indoor Water Park Resort, Sandusky, Ohio
Worked as part of the HVAC design group that designed and drafted multiple stand-alone HVAC systems for a major indoor water park resort. The resort features an 80,000-square foot indoor water park, over 500 guest rooms, condominiums, convention center, retail facilities, restaurants, and day spa. Included were rooftop air conditioners, energy recovery units, make-up air units, VAV boxes, and pool heat recovery units.
