Regional Leading Research Center for Smart Energy System, Kyungpook
National University, South Korea.
A motivated clean energy analyst that has a passion for the
decarbonization of energy systems through the use of renewable energy
technologies and energy efficiency measures for the sustainable
development of cities across the globe. Also a building energy
specialist that has a passion for building energy performance through
the use of renewable energy technologies and energy efficiency
measures to enhance the consumption of less water, minimize waste
production, increase energy efficiency, and create a healthy living
for the sustainable development of the eco-systems.
Presently working as a Research Professor under the Regional Leading
Research Center for Smart Energy System, Kyungpook National University
South Korea where he manages, coordinate, and execute numerous
projects on the energy markets stability of developing nations through
the assessment of the techno-economic and environmental sustainability
of renewable energy projects that have led to the sustainable
development of cities within the globe to include the risk and
sensitivity analysis of energy systems using RETScreen Expert software
developed by the Natural Resource Canada (NRCan). He is also working
as a Senior Research Fellow with the Center for Climate Change and
Development, Alex-Ekwueme Federal University Ndufu-Alike (AEFUNAI)
Nigeria on the Nigeria Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project (DPP).
One of the 120 researchers from 18 nations across the globe working in
collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley
Lab), United State of America (USA) on Cool Building Solutions for a
Warming World (CBS) with the mission to identify, assess, develop, and
share passive and low-energy building energy efficiency measures that
help individuals and cities adapt to extreme heat.
Area of expertise at RLRC also revolves around analyzing building
energy performance to include building energy audit, building energy
savings, building energy management, and energy assessment of
retrofitting buildings using RETScreen Expert software to track and
monitor energy and water use in residential buildings leading to over
25 percent savings in water and energy consumption in Korea and
Australia.
Specialized in assessing, analyzing, and developing renewable energy
and energy efficiency projects in developed and developing countries.
He has worked on clean energy projects funded by the United Nations
(UN), Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), African Development Bank
(AfDB), Korean Energy Agency (KEA), Korean Energy Technology
Evaluation and Planning (KETEP), Natural Resource Canada (NRCan), and
the Canadian Energy Ventures (CEV) International. His experiences on
clean energy projects cut across North America (Canada, USA), Africa
(Nigeria, Cameroon, Togo, and Ivory Coast), Australia, and Asia (South
Korea) continents.
Also working as a Green Building Consultant with the Global Green
Growth Institute (GGGI) with the responsibility to model the energy
performance of refortified residential buildings using the Measurement
and Verification (M&V) analysis developed by the Efficiency Valuation
Organization (EVO) after building retrofits leading to energy savings
and reduction of greenhouse gases emission of energy systems and
facilities.
