Mark Lenssen, P.E., CEM
Puget Sound Energy
Nominated by the American society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers

By helping commercial and industrial facilities become more environmentally sustainable by reducing their carbon footprint, Mark Lenssen supported over one hundred projects to improve energy efficiency over the last 2.5 years, saving more than 7.5 million kilowatt hours (kWh) and 170,000 therms per year.  Based on local carbon emissions for delivered kWh and therms, these combined energy savings equal over 5,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year, or the equivalent of taking 2.7 average cars off the road each day.

At Puget Sound Energy, Mr. Lenssen combines his passion for energy efficiency with engineering and project management.  He conducts energy audits to analyze how customers' heating, cooling, lighting, production and other energy-consuming systems operate and provides them with cost-effective energy efficiency upgrade recommendations.  To date, Mr. Lenssen is responsible for providing nearly $2 million of energy efficiency incentives to PSE customers.

Mr. Lenssen earned his Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington.
