Derek Hendry WEC Biography

DEREK HENDRYAScTProject Manager

With more than 15 years of professional experience in the building services industry, Derek has provided mechanical systems design for many new buildings and retrofits and has experience in all phases of project design and construction, including detailed and conceptual design, budgeting, scheduling, project management and on site field reviews.

Derek specializes in designing practical, resource efficient mechanical systems for a variety of projects including educational, healthcare, residential, commercial and light industrial facilities and is routinely able to deliver quality projects in a timely and cost effective manner.

He is able to manage complex design with an integrated design approach, and has been responsible for many innovative projects that effectively incorporate energy efficient designs and improved functionality through the application of newer technologies including closed/ open loop geo-exchange, heat recovery, radiant heating and cooling, active chilled beams, displacement ventilation and solar energy transfer.

Derek has participated in a number of LEED® certified projects and has developed a good understanding of sustainable engineering principles and the proper integration of alternate energy sources.

PROJECT EXPERIENCEHealthcareParksville Urgent Care – (OHC) Oceanside Health Centre - LEED® Silver: Parksville, BCLead designer of HVAC, plumbing, controls and fire suppression systems for 43,000 ft 2 two storey health services centre including medical gas systems, DDC controls and incorporation of “Thermenex” thermal energy management piping and controls system.

Kelowna General Hospital – 5th Floor Addition; Kelowna, British ColumbiaProvided HVAC, plumbing, fire suppression and medical gas design for 18,500 ft2 addition to existing wing of hospital.

Edgemont Seniors Living; North Vancouver, BCLead designer for a new 35,000 ft2 seniors care facility. This project includes a single non-combustible level of “memory care” and program space, topped with 2 levels of assisted living spaces for the more independent individuals or couples. To provide a ventilation system in compliance with ASHRAE 170 Ventilation Standard for Health Care Facilities; and to meet the controllability expectations of the Client group, active beam technology was provided on the “memory care” level. Individual active beams, each with independent control, are located in every bedroom and common space of each suite. A 4-pipe hydronic distribution system was provided to serve the beams with chilled and moderately tempered heating water. An air-source heat recovery chiller heat pump is used to maintain the loop temperatures, with supplemental heating provided by a small condensing boiler. To ensure energy is not wasted in the cooking processes, the NFPA 96 kitchen exhaust is provided with an industrial heat recovery unit, using the captured heat from cooking to warm the make-up air required in the kitchen area. The combined MAU/KEF unit is complete with automatic wash-down capability, to ensure the process is properly maintained. More conventional electric heat and PTAC units were used in the assisted Living levels for space temperature control; will packaged roof-top units provide heating and cooling for the amenity areas. Water efficient fixtures have been identified throughout, further increasing the energy reduction for this facility.

Education and ResearchUFV Health Sciences- Open Loop Geo-Exchange - LEED® Gold; Chilliwack, British ColumbiaLead designer and project manager for LEED® Gold (pending) state-of-the-art facility at the Canada Education Park. This project repurposes a series of existing buildings and provides a connecting Atrium to link them into a single building, with some additional classroom/office space added. Classrooms are tempered by active beam technology or heat pump technology. Multiple separate hydronic loops, each functioning at a different thermal set-point, serve the facility. Heat is generated by solar, geo-exchange heat pump or condensing boiler. Cooling is generated from the open-loop geo-exchange system. A detailed direct digital control (DDC) system has been provided to control and monitor this complex collection of HVAC systems throughout this facility. Throughout the facility, water efficient plumbing fixtures have been utilized. As a result of these measures, this facility is anticipated to operate utilizing 48% less energy and 40% less water than a similar facility using conventional systems.
