Dr. Mohammad Fakoor is the technical lead for the building performance team at RJC Engineers, and his work involves project work, technical review, and education for energy modelling, airtightness testing, research, and carbon life cycle analysis.

Mohammad has worked on a variety of projects including emerging solar energy applications, energy efficiency of residential/commercial/industrial buildings, carbon life cycle assessment (LCA) analysis for concrete/steel/timber structures, and building enclosure airtightness testing. This multifaceted work requires combined expertise in heat transfer, thermodynamics, fluid flow, HVAC, and building science. A published author and lecturer, Mohammad actively contributes to his field through practice and research with his work extensively cited in pertinent literature.

Joel Kelly holds a PhD in Materials Chemistry from the University of Alberta and has worked in the clean technology industry in BC for 15 years.

At Moli, his team works on multiple areas of R&D focused on developing next-generation Li-ion cells, including cell design, electrolyte formulation, safety, and electrochemical modeling.

David Oliver is a Vancouver-based founder and expert in carbon markets and sustainable energy systems, with over 20 years of experience linking technology, infrastructure, and environmental finance to support low-carbon transitions. 

He holds a Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia. David has contributed to smart building and smart city frameworks, including development of the EU Standard EN 50090, and previously led major power and distribution projects across Canada and the EMEA region at Eaton Corporation.

Since 2017, David has focused on environmental commodities and carbon credit programs in sectors such as building energy efficiency and transport electrification. He is President of Suomi Advisory Group and Co-Founder and CEO of Greenlines Technology, where he develops digital measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) systems to enable scalable, high-integrity carbon credits. He also serves as a Deputy on the Global Leadership Council of the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP).

Sina Salari, Ph.D., P.Eng., CEM, MBA (I2I), is the founder and CEO of SISA Energy. He combines deep technical training with product and business leadership to scale building-energy intelligence and retrofit delivery. 

Under his direction, SISA has forged strategic partnerships with retrofit accelerators such as LandlordBC and was selected by British Columbia’s Innovative Clean Energy (ICE) Fund as one of the top promising startup to scale energy retrofits across buildings. The company has built a market database of 20,000+ buildings and earned national recognition through the Federal Government’s Deep Retrofit Accelerator Initiative, which chose SISA’s data management platform for 10,000 buildings to support Canada’s first Retrofit Repository. Across these efforts, Sina focuses on measurable outcomes in complex, multi-stakeholder programs aligned with provincial and federal clean-energy priorities.
