TrayectoriaTrajetóriaBackground

Make Valencia holds an MSc in Mechanical Engineering from the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil, and is currently a PhD candidate there. Make brings 12 years of experience as a consultant specializing in energy efficiency, sustainability and thermal-energy systems modeling, with projects in Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama and Bolivia.

This practice is grounded in advanced command of key international standards, including ASHRAE 90.1 (energy efficiency in buildings) and ASHRAE 62.1 and 62.2 (ventilation and indoor air quality). With this expertise, Make designs and optimizes systems aligned with the most demanding green building certification requirements, such as LEED, turning infrastructure into low-impact, high-return assets.

Make combines quantitative, descriptive and analytical skills to interpret complex energy data, enabling rigorous audits predictive simulations and performance assessments that support strategic decisions on large-scale projects. Make took part in the first Platinum certified projects in Peru (Centro Empresarial Leuro) and Ecuador (Corporativo 194).
