Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEric Bonnema is a Mechanical Engineer with over a decade at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory, specializing in commercial whole-building energy simulation, sector-wide energy modeling, and software for building optimization. He blends hands-on scientific computing and package management with applied research—shaping Advanced Energy Design Guides and the 179D DOE Calculator—to close the loop between building design intent and measured performance. Prior to NREL he engineered air-cooled steam condensers for power plants, giving him practical systems insight that informs his modeling work. An adjunct professor at Colorado School of Mines and a Colorado-registered Engineering Intern, he holds an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Colorado State University and is known for translating complex energy-policy tools into usable software for practitioners.
