Scott Kaufman, P.E.

Project Director

In his role as Project Director, Scott is involved in virtually every project that INTECaec performs and is influential in development of all the design disciplines to assure that architectural, mechanical, plumbing, structural and electrical trades are all integrally conceived and well-coordinated.

He began his career in the early solar energy field before moving into HVAC design. He realized that at the time it was impossible for solar energy systems to be implemented in the broader context of the entire building design industry. He moved from HVAC design and project management into the broader scope of A/E project management. Degrees in English and in General Administration facilitate his role as a team leader and communicator. Scott has guided projects involving geothermal energy, performed life cycle analysis of mechanical systems, devised energy alternatives, innovated critical control systems and actively incorporates renewable resources. His multi-disciplinary experience is key to INTECaec’s well-coordinated projects.
