Spotlight
Dustin Worts, CET
Construction Services Coordinator
Dustin works closely with contractors to offer RJC's construction engineering services, such as formwork and false-work, shoring and reshoring, load reviews, coring/opening reviews, planning/value engineering for project scheduling, structural assessment/upgrading for additional loads, on site Quality Assurance services, etc. He also manages a group of talented field representatives who work with owners, architects and contractors to review that what is constructed meets the intent of the engineering design. An active volunteer and vested in the industry, Dustin is a well-known and valued member of the construction industry.
The relationship between design and construction is imperative and fluid. I believe if we stay connected and work with the construction team, RJC will bring value to every phase of the project, this is critical in its overall success.
Mohammad Fakoor, PhD, CEA, P.Eng., CPHD
Senior Building Performance Engineer
Nationally sought for his deep knowledge of building performance, specifically for designing high performance buildings aligned with contemporary energy standards, Mohammad is a leader in building energy modelling. Building Energy Modelling is a versatile, multipurpose tool that can aid in design-stage decision-making, to show code compliance, to achieve green building certification and to help inform policy and code development. Mohammad's leadership has furthered RJC's Building Energy Modelling practice across Canada.
Provinces across the country are adopting more contemporary energy codes and standards to advance the energy performance of buildings. British Columbia and the City of Toronto have adopted new stringent energy standards using a passive house philosophy, with the goal of "net-zero ready" buildings by 2030. We anticipate that energy modelling will become an inevitable part of the building design in the future.
Wendy Macdonald, P.Eng., ENV SP, LEED® AP BD+C
Sustainability Consultant
RJCers know Wendy Macdonald as the “Queen of Green.” Her passion for protecting our environment is inspiring. With more than two decades of professional development, Wendy credits her dedication to sustainability as the driving force behind her career. She initially believed that “technology got us into this mess, technology can get us out,” leading her to study Mechanical Engineering at the University of Victoria to address environmental issues. Through co-op placements with BC Hydro, the Alberta oil patch, a German university, and a consulting firm, she saw that sustainable building strategies already exist; the real challenge is our willingness to use them. This realization shifted her focus to human behaviour, prompting her to study psychology and social work while gaining experience in crisis support and street outreach. She later returned to engineering in a role aligned with her HVAC background, allowing time to explore counselling and start a healing-focused business. As a LEED Consultant, Wendy found her strength in translating complex environmental ideas into clear language, helping teams define and achieve sustainability goals, bringing her journey full circle through technology, people, and purpose.ork.
Some people say follow your dreams. Some people say follow your talents. In my mind, in order to follow any of those things, you need to know who you are to begin with. You need to know what makes you a superhero.
