STEVEN F. MILLER, PE, Vice President, Engineering

Steven Miller is a registered professional engineer with extensive experience in all phases of industrial and commercial utility systems planning and evaluation, including heat pumps, heat recovery, process and space cooling, cogeneration, and alternative energy systems. With his financial degree, he has strong combination of technical and financial expertise for bringing solutions to clients.

Mr. Miller is the manager of MEI's energy audit team. He has conducted and managed thousands of energy audits on tens of millions of square feet of facilities used for industrial, commercial, administrative, and residential purposes. He is expert in developing innovative strategies for improving energy efficiency, reducing carbon footprint, and managing overall energy usage.

Mr. Miller is an active member of the Statewide Evaluator Team retained by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission under Pennsylvania Act 129. In this capacity, he is engaged in extensive site visits to audit reported savings at commercial and industrial facilities and to conduct baseline energy use studies. He also is engaged in the development of the Commonwealth's Technical Resource Manual establishing the protocols to measure and verify energy efficiency and demand response measures. Mr. Miller is a primary contributor to advising the Pennsylvania Commission on applying net-to-gross ratios for evaluating the cost effectiveness of the energy efficiency measures and programs.

Mr. Miller's background includes designing and managing industrial energy audits and energy conservation programs, with an emphasis on technical and financial evaluation, scope development, and vendor selection. He has led economic and technical feasibility studies for cogeneration systems and alternative energy projects such as petroleum coke gasification and advanced fluidized bed technology. Mr. Miller managed natural gas procurement and developed a natural gas price hedging strategy for an industrial cogeneration facility that consumed more than eight billion cubic feet of natural gas per year.

Mr. Miller has conducted assessments of industrial and commercial cogeneration projects including optimal dispatching programs to maximize savings under various electric utility tariffs.

He served as lead engineer on the financial analysis, redesign and construction of industrial fuel, water, compressed air and steam distribution systems to reduce energy cost and maximize throughput. A heat pump heat recovery system designed by Mr. Miller for two industrial facilities reduced hot water costs by 80 percent.
