Michael Geyer, PE, CIH, CSP
An expert in mitigating chemical-biological contaminants in buildings, conducting property conditions assessments, improving indoor air quality, mitigating vapor intrusion, characterizing landfill gas, and building off-grid homes.
Michael has 20-years of professional experience in environmental engineering, preceded by 15-years of construction experience working in the trades, building off-grid power systems, and supervising building projects. He has built hundreds of residential homes (both tract developments, custom houses and remote ranch-style homes) and commercial buildings, and many special-use structures, e.g., theater, sport venue and schools. His unique construction experience has been valued by developers/owners building on compromised property (e.g., Brownfields) with known chemical or biological hazards. He specializes in high-hazard construction efforts and those impacted with methane, hydrogen sulfide, VOCs or radon. His experience in the remediation of buildings compromised with biological agents using heat as a remediation technique, is extensive. Michael’s current work includes: mitigating soil-gas vapor intrusion (VI); assessing outdoor and indoor air quality (IAQ); conducting building envelope and property condition assessments (PCAs); designing engineering controls to enhance occupant safety; and oversight of construction projects impacted by chemical hazards. Michael also designs and builds off-grid and utility inter-tie power systems, super-insulated cabins and high-performance homes for private parties. Michael contracts with all types of clients, including: municipalities, developers, private property owners/managers, and industrial sector clientele, as well as professional practice firms such as engineering, architecture, insurance and law. Michael is often retained by counsel to assist litigation, review case documents, provide expert opinion, and support arbitration. Michael also shares his considerable knowledge with others. He routinely presents case studies at national conferences and seminars and is often requested to provide classes at industry-sponsored professional development courses (PDCs), and for five years he has volunteered his time to the Kern County (California) Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee. He is active with his community, his 4-H club and supports home-education. |
