Jared Ritter joined CPP in January 2012 and has 12 years of experience in CPP’s air quality services as a project engineer and technical lead. During this time, he led projects involving exhaust and intake evaluations, wind tunnel studies, numerical exhaust dispersion modeling, door operability assessments, and outdoor wind comfort analyses for research and laboratory facilities. He also managed CPP’s Air Quality team from 2020 to 2024, overseeing project execution, staff development, and technical quality.
Jared has significant experience in laboratory ventilation and energy optimization, including studies to reduce exhaust energy consumption in laboratory research buildings through the application of variable air volume (VAV) technologies. His work has included optimizing VAV laboratory exhaust systems for simple turndown operation and wind-responsive control strategies. In addition to project leadership, Jared has helped advance CPP’s internal capabilities by improving data collection and processing systems used in technical analysis. He has also participated in ASHRAE research projects, including work to update methods used to calculate minimum separation distances between exhaust stacks and building air intakes.
In 2024, Jared transitioned into the role of Lab Operations Manager, where he focuses on personnel and team development, strengthening cross-team collaboration, and improving operational processes. In this role, he supports strategic project execution across CPP by aligning teams, resources, and workflows to enhance efficiency and project outcomes.
Jared holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, is OSHA 30 certified and is a LEAN Six Sigma Green Belt.
