Francis (Bud) J. Offermann MSME, PE, CIH

Email: offermann@iee-sf.com

    Qualifications:
• M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University, Stanford, California (1985)
• B. S. in Mechanical Engineering, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where, state (1976)
• Certified Industrial Hygienist Certification by the American Board of Industrial Hygiene.

Mr. Offermann is an active member of the indoor air quality committees associated with ASHRAE (Standard 62), AIHA, ACGIH, ASTM, ISIAQ, USGBC (LEED Program), and Cal-OSHA Indoor Air Quality Advisory Committee.

Mr. Offermann has 25 years experience as an IAQ researcher, sick building investigator, mitigation planner, healthy building design consultant, expert witness, technical author, and workshop instructor. He is president of Indoor Environmental Engineering, a San Francisco based IAQ consulting firm.

As president of Indoor Environmental Engineering, Mr. Offermann directs an interdisciplinary team of environmental scientists, chemists, and mechanical engineers in indoor air quality building investigations and healthy building design projects. Under Mr. Offermann's supervision IEE has developed both pro-active and reactive IAQ measurement methods and diagnostic protocols. He has been a recipient of State and Federal research grants regarding building air quality and ventilation field studies (e.g. EPA BASE study of IAQ in office buildings and schools), tracer gas techniques,in situ contaminant emission rate measurements, and the development of indoor air quality measurement instrumentation.

Prior to starting up Indoor Environmental Engineering, Mr. Offermann was a Staff Scientist with the Building Ventilation and Indoor Air Quality Program, Energy and Environment Division, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, Berkeley, CA.

Mr. Offermann developed and instructs, regularly, IAQ related professional development seminars including “Indoor Air Quality: Tools for Schools,” an EPA one day air quality management workshop for school officials, teachers, and maintenance personnel, and the Building Operator Certification (BOC) ”Indoor Air Quality” Training Workshops, sponsored by the Northwest Energy Efficiency Council.

He has published extensively and lectured frequently on the subject of IAQ including: “Mold and Moisture Control”, Indoor Air Quality workshop for the Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS), San Francisco. “Managing Indoor Air Quality in Schools: Staying Out of Trouble”, CASBO, Sacramento.

Jonathan P. Robertson, CIH

    Qualifications:
• B.S. in Environmental Science , University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia
• Certified Industrial Hygienist Certification by the American Board of Industrial Hygiene.

Mr. Robertson is an integral part of the of IEE’s air quality services consulting team using his technical experience and project management skills to provide quality client services.

Jonathan has lead over 200 investigations evaluating IAQ and industrial hygiene concerns, ventilation parameters and building performance throughout California and the United States. He utilizes his skills and insight on healthy building design and commissioning projects, and consultation on projects seeking USGBC, LEED EQ Credit to assist clients in finding cost-effective solutions to achieve their IEQ goals.

Currently, in addition to conducting building evaluations and leading smaller projects, Jonathan is the Field Team Manager of a 2 year study of over 100 California single family homes for IAQ parameters, Occupant home use and perception factors, and energy efficiency.

He is also a member of the team that operates IEE’s research and product development ventilation laboratory, manages the IAQ equipment calibration program and has developed and taught courses such as “Building Sciences: Understanding and Controlling Moisture in Buildings”, American Industrial Hygiene Association and Building Operator Certification (BOC), 106-IAQ Training Workshops for the Northwest Energy Efficiency Council.

Accreditations

  • B.S. Environmental Engineering, California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo, CA
  • Engineer in Training, EIT

Ms. Woo is an important member of IEE’s air quality services consulting team. She joined IEE in the Summer of 2006 as the Team 2 Field Leader for our research project “Ventilation and Indoor Air Quality in New California Homes”, which consist for IAQ measurements collected in 108 homes.



While she managed the team, she was also responsible for calibrating all the air sampling instrumentation, deploying the air samplers at indoor and outdoor locations, and collecting detailed information on the house characteristics. Teresa is also responsible for the data input, analyses, and preparing the necessary documents for the report associated with the air contaminant measurements.

Prior to joining IEE, she has had experience in an analytical laboratory that analyzed ambient and indoor air samples. From here she became familiar with EPA sampling methods and extractions while using the GC/MS and HPLC machines. Even though she is new to IEE her technical and project management experience is always expanding.

In addition to her work on the research project, she assists in developing presentations and reports for industry professionals and clients, along with maintaining IEE’s equipment and calibration laboratory.
