Background

About Patrick Fitzgerald

Fiercely driven to reduce society's carbon footprint, Pat Fitzgerald is dedicated to advancing energy efficiency in one of today's largest CO2 emitters - the industrial sector. This pursuit for Mr. Fitzgerald began at the University of Dayton where, as an undergrad mechanical engineering student, he discovered he could combine his two passions - sustainability and engineering - within the energy efficiency field. While pursuing his Master's Degree in Renewable & Clean Energy, Mr. Fitzgerald became the lead engineer of UD's Industrial Assessment Center wherein he led or participated in over 30 energy audits of small- to mid-sized manufacturers. After receiving his graduate degree, Pat joined the Industrial Applications Team at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as a Sr. Research Associate. During his tenure at the lab, he became the de facto wastewater treatment energy efficiency liaison, wherein he published several energy saving tip sheets for the wastewater treatment sector in addition to developing wastewater-specific features for the Ready Navigator. Pat was also involved in work with the oft-cited Motor Systems Market Assessment report and worked on validating energy savings'"persistence" in Superior Energy Performance-certified facilities. With a greater in-depth knowledge of energy efficiency, Pat has now joined JLL’s Energy and Sustainability Services team in order to put his skills to action. Performing energy audits for the wide swath of JLL’s clientele, Pat hopes to reduce the US built-environment carbon footprint significantly while helping clients meet their sustainability goals.
