Arnold Lasonder
@arnoldlasonder
I manage HVAC projects and deliver industrial energy, electrification, and decarbonisation studies.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently coordinating HVAC projects at Hooyberghs HVAC, from preparation through handover. I oversee planning, budgets and technical execution while managing project engineers, draftsmen and site managers.
At Denercon, I developed and managed industrial energy and climate projects for energy-intensive food, steel, chemical and textile companies. I led feasibility studies, energy audits and climate roadmaps from study phase through implementation.
My work covers technical and economic studies for heat pumps, e-boilers, CHP, PV installations and battery storage, alongside EU ETS compliance and external energy management. I combine energy and process analysis with CAPEX, OPEX and ROI evaluation.
For my master thesis at VUB and ULB, I built a Python simulation and optimisation tool for the ULB Solbosch campus district heating network, minimising energy consumption, OPEX and CO2 emissions while assessing heat-pump electrification scenarios.
