Dakota Waller | Project Engineer

Specialties: Energy Modeling, Utility Analysis

Dakota Waller is a Project Engineer with the Deep Carbon Reduction Group at JB&B.  Since joining the firm, the majority of his work has focused on developing investment-grade energy models to inform long-term strategic planning for building decarbonization, particularly in light of Local Law 97 and client decarbonization goals.  Beyond these projects, his experience also includes portfolio emissions inventories, energy modeling for code compliance and LEED certification, and grid-level decarbonization projections. 

Within the Deep Carbon Reduction team, Mr. Waller plays an important role with his experience in building energy modeling.  He analyzes complex building HVAC design options and condenses the resulting energy outcomes into impactful reports and presentations to inform client decisions.  Prior to joining JB&B, he worked as a building energy analyst, developing energy models for Tenant fit-outs throughout the greater New York metro area.

Mr. Waller holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering with minors in English and Sustainability, and a Master of Science degree in Renewable and Clean Energy, both from the University of Dayton.

Fun Fact: During his time at the University of Dayton, Dakota participated in the Solar Splash boating competition, where teams are tasked with designing and constructing solar-powered boats. These boats are then subjected to several days of in-water testing for speed, endurance, and maneuverability—it was a great hands-on learning experience!
