Gabriel Levy, PE - Fire Protection Engineer
Experience
Commercial, Residential, Industrial, Federal and Education.
Expertise
Gabriel has a very strong understanding of thermal analysis and fluid dynamics. Smoke and heat movement theory comes naturally to him and his ability to apply first-order fundamental equations to complex building environments is valuable to our team. He is a wizard with computer modeling, and no open space is too complex for him to design a compliant and efficient smoke control system.
Gabriel's experience includes atrium and holding-cell smoke control systems, residential high-rise code consulting, life safety sheet design, and evaluating alternative, but equivalent, means of complying with specific code language when the prescriptive approach is technically infeasible.
When he isn't analyzing the three modes of heat transfer
Gabriel is loving his life in Denver, Colorado. As a San Diego native, he has never experienced such incredible wilderness, such an active city, or such frigid cold. Replacing his surfboard for a snowboard was not an easy transition, but Gabriel is ready to shred the gnar. After work, you can find him climbing at the local gym, buying supplies at the local homebrew store, or rolling a D20 with his dungeons and dragons friends.
Involvement
Gabriel is actively networking with the fire protection and building development community. He attends monthly Rocky Mountain SFPE meetings and is still an active member of the Cal Poly SFPE chapter. He is an active contributor to the ICC Colorado Code Development Committee and regularly attends the ICC Committee Action Hearings to testify on the need for specific changes to the building code.
