Yankee Scientific: The Practice of Ingenuity
President
Dr. Guyer founded Yankee Scientific in 1988 with David Brownell.
Eric’s educational background includes a Doctor of Science degreein Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Bachelor of Science degree from the now University of Massachusetts at Lowell. He is a member of American Society Mechanical Engineers, the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and AirConditioning Engineers; Sigma Xi; and the Tau Epsilon Honorary Engineering Society.
Dr. Guyer has spent his most of his career in the development of energy technology and related enterprises. Early in his career he became interested in smaller scale energy systems of all types, particularly building energy systems. With the founding of Yankee Scientific in 1988, he has led the development of important new products for the HVAC industry. In the year 2000, Dr. Guyer brought together the international industry team that now comprises Climate Energy, LLC, the North American leader in micro-combined heat and power systems. He has guided technical projects for several branches of the US military, including DARPA, and for a number of industry trade and research organizations.
As editor of the Handbook of Applied Thermal Design he has contributed significantly to the methods and practical perspectives of energy system design. His technical expertise is in the application of thermodynamic principles, materials, thermal power devices, and instrumentation and controls to the engineering solution of heat flow and temperature problems in product and process design.
He is the author of a number of patents and technical articles and he is engaged in the public debate of the technology and policy options for our energy future.
