September 16, 2023 - In an article published in Spaces4Learning, Ryan Strandquest LEED AP, President of Matern Professional Engineering, discusses the idea of approaching net zero in schools, specifically through analyzing the use of renewable energy. Despite being known as the Sunshine State, Florida currently produces a mere 6% of its electricity needs from renewable sources such as solar. While that may not seem like much, Florida ranks fourth among all 50 states in solar and renewable energy production. Ryan details that school construction can move toward net zero by taking advantage of renewable energy incentives in an economically viable way.
October 26, 2023 - Leah Zeisler’s example of persistence is an inspiration to us. Leah first joined Matern nearly a decade ago, and in 2022 she stepped up to lead our firm’s electrical design department, overseeing Matern’s work in electrical design. Leah earned her PE and has since focused her energies on electrical, lighting, and educational work for Matern. In fact, one of her favorite feelings is driving past a building she helped design, taking satisfaction in knowing she has contributed to her community’s growth.
October 11, 2023 - The saying “time flies when you’re having fun!” rings true for Ashley Goldberg, who joined the company over a decade ago as a project setup/CAD coordinator. Ashley began working with Doug Matern and Ryan Strandquest on various projects and her interest in mechanical engineering grew, so she enrolled at the University of Alabama, where she received her bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. Over the years, Ashley rose through the ranks from Mechanical Engineer to Sr. Project Manager. Today, she oversees Matern’s entire Mechanical Engineering Department for Education.
September 13, 2023 - In an article published 8/14 in School Construction News, Ryan Strandquest, LEED AP, President of Matern Professional Engineering, writes how, despite enjoying a great deal of sun, Florida currently produces only 6% of its energy from renewable sources. Despite such a paltry sum, Florida ranks fourth among all states in terms of solar and renewable energy production. Ryan advises that school construction can move toward net zero by taking advantage of renewable energy incentives in a path that is economically viable.
