Hello, thanks for checking out my
portfolio!

My name is Douglas Thoms .

Quite simply, I am looking for a junior
engineering position in a company that
is serious about providing high quality,
profitable and sustainable services.

In the following pages is a selection of
my work and interests.

Enjoy!

ENERGY
MODELLING
Project:
House Energy Simulation of
residential home

Synopsis:
Client requested a
simulation of annual
energy and
recommendations to
lower energy use
Provided with gas and
electrical bills,
incomplete
information on
appliances and floor
plans
HOT2000 used to
provide energy model
of house

BUILDING
MODELLING
CONTINUED
Results:
Surveyed utility bills to
create energy profile
for simulations to be
compared against
Created HOT2000
energy model and
further refined to
closely match baseline
energy profile
Analyzed results of
model to explain
disparities (such as
unusual drop in
electrical consumption
in the water)
Made
recommendations to
lower costs

Skills:
Energy modelling in
HOT2000
Analysis of energy
consumption trends
Research of energy
consumption

and risk monitoring
system
Process involved
setting the scope and
managing risks
A survey of sensors
was completed and
then applied to a
decision matrix
Experiments were
carried out to
determine
performance of
selected surveys
