General Qualifications
Equipment: MES operates and maintains an efficient electronic processing network to facilitate large-scale technical analysis and modeling. The system includes eight high speed processors serving several terabytes of linked storage. Large scale file transfer capability is available through both general password-protected and client-dedicated FTP, as well as via password-protected website download. Although most products are delivered electronically, high speed color laser output capability is also maintained. Network processing software has been selected to balance efficiency and portability. A detailed listing of system hardware and software is available upon request.
Personnel: As the Owner and Principal Researcher at MES, Dan Meszler brings over 30 years of air quality and energy analysis experience to the company. The following resume presents his specific qualifications. Mr. Meszler is the sole technical employee of MES. He does, however, maintain working relationships with a number of other firms that can be accessed to provide supplemental support for larger projects, and he would be happy to discuss such arrangements with clients as appropriate. MES is primarily interested in ensuring that clients receive the most effective representation possible, so the need for, and structure of, any supplemental support is considered carefully and discussed in detail with clients before implementation.
