Kelli Fischer
- Role: Mechanical engineer
- Location: San Diego, CA
- Focus: HVAC, energy loads, and mechanical systems
- Approach: Right-sized equipment & controls clarity
Portfolio overview
Kelli Fischer develops mechanical solutions that match climate, occupancy, and architecture—avoiding oversized equipment that costs more to buy and operate. She is attentive to acoustic goals, outdoor air requirements, and how diffusers interact with interior design.
Her engineering balances code-minimum compliance with owner aspirations for comfort and maintainability.
Comfort within constraints
Mechanical design threads through structure, electrical capacity, and architectural ceilings. Kelli navigates those limits while keeping loads honest.
- Cooling and heating peaks against envelope performance
- Ventilation and filtration requirements in specialty spaces
- Equipment noise criteria coordinated with architecture
- Electrical service implications of mechanical selections
Mechanical outcomes
She documents selections with clear basis-of-design notes and alternates that help owners decide with cost transparency.
- Load calculations with defensible assumptions and revision history
- Equipment layouts that respect maintenance access in crowded rooms
- Controls narratives aligned to sequences of operation
- Coordination with electrical for starters, VFDs, and panel space
