ENGINEER OF THE YEAR Cameron Scott Commissioning Authority of Salt Lake City Corporation, ASHRAE The Utah Chapter of the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers nominated Cameron Scott of Salt Lake City Corporation as Utah Engi- neer of the Year for the year 2018. Cameron joined Salt Lake City as an Energy Engineer supervising an HVAC Mainte- nance team and running energy projects. Several of his projects included upgrading lights to high efficient LEDs, replacing boilers with more efficient replacement boilers, and installing electrical charging stations for EV vehicles. To meet Salt Lake City’s ambitious goal of 100% renewable electrical usage, Cameron and the SLC facilities manager realized the most effective way to reduce energy consump- tion is to tune new and existing buildings. With the approv- al of the city council, they developed a Commissioning Authority position with the goal of tuning all city buildings every 10 years.
