Moe Tabrizi, an industrial engineer and former senior manager in the high-tech industry, is charged with developing, evaluating and implementing utility conservation measures to reverse a trend of increased campus energy use in recent years.
CU-Boulder's energy consumption has risen by 5 percent annually over the past several years, highlighting the need for a coordinated campus approach to save energy and lower utility costs.
Besides identifying areas for conservation, Mr. Tabrizi is responsible for working with campus departments to develop their own conservation plans.
As an energy conservation officer, Mr. Tabrizi manages a comprehensive energy conservation program on campus, prepares reports recommending conservation improvements, develops and implements a conservation awareness program to motivate campus departments to conserve energy, prepares grant requests for campus conservation projects and analyzes energy consumption data to identify conservation targets, particularly those that could produce significant utility cost savings.
Mr. Tabrizi works closely with the CU Environmental Center, Department of Housing and the UCSU-owned building managers. He also helps support the efforts of the already existing Campus Resource Conservation Committee.
Prior to this position, Mr. Tabrizi worked as a senior manager for new product development at the telecommunications firm Avaya in Westminster, as a senior manager for engineering and operations at Lucent Technologies in Westminster, and as an engineering manager for AT&T in Westminster.
At Avaya, Mr. Tabrizi was responsible for planning the next generation products and moving the technology through production and manufacturing. He directed product technology transfer to international factories, led a successful product cost-reduction program and was involved in Avaya's energy conservation efforts.
Mr. Tabrizi holds a master's degree in industrial engineering from the University of Oklahoma.
