Eric Greene named IEC TC 114 62600-2 Convener

July, 2016, Geneva, Switzerland
Eric Greene has been appointed Project Leader for International Electrotechnical Commission TC 114 62600-2 to revise design requirements for marine energy systems.

The recently published Technical Standard provides the essential design requirements to ensure the engineering integrity of wave, tidal and other water current energy converters, referred to as marine energy converters (MECs).

EGA launches ChesapeakeSTEM.org

The mission of ChesapeakeSTEM.org is to educate students about engineering solutions to the challenges facing the Bay.  Existing programs that focus on ecology and biology have made great progress to help us understand the Bay’s ecosystem.  However, some young people are more inclined to designing and building things – future engineers.  Young adults who decide to choose technical careers focused on the Bay’s man-made problems will be the future advocates for a healthy Chesapeake Bay.




EGA launches HELPtheChesapeake.com
HELPtheChesapeake.com was established as a forum for various stakeholders to advance responsible stewardship for the long-term health of the Bay.  People who Harvest, Employ, Live and Play on the Chesapeake have a shared interest that our county’s largest estuary remains vibrant.  Our goal is to provide a holistic view of what the Bay means to the more than 10 million people that live here and information that will help us share this treasure now and for future generations.



Eric Greene advocates for Military Composites

Ladder briefings may help get better equipment to our troops

Letter to the Editor published: May 16, 2014

Regarding the May 13 front-page article “Out: Earmarks. In: Required ladder briefings”:

The real story is that these lightweight ladders aren’t already in the hands of our troops. Special Forces have them because their procurement process involves less red tape. The United States excels in the manufacture of advanced composite material, yet it is difficult to sell such composites to the military, whose standards are written around metal components. Sometimes it takes getting a few people excited, such as a congressman, to integrate these game-changing assets into our armed forces.

Eric Greene serves on National Academies Committee
Application of Lightweighting Technology
to Military Aircraft, Vessels and Vehicles

Project Scope
A committee of the National Academies was convened to assess the current state of lightweighting implementation for transportation systems.  The committee assessed the current state of lightweighting implementation in land, sea and air vehicles systems in the military and civil sectors, with a primary emphasis on military systems and equipment.  Recommendations were made for ways in which the use of lightweight materials and lightweight solutions might be better implemented in military and dual-use systems.

The Project was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense

Subject/Focus Area
Energy and Energy Conservation; Engineering and Technology; National Security and Defense; Policy for Science and Technology; Space and Aeronautics; Transportation and Infrastructure

Professional Experience


Eric Greene Associates has been certified as a Top 20% Performer based on Open Ratings Past Perfromance Evaluation survey.  EGA's PPE score of 93/100 demonstrates outstanding overall customer satsfaction relative to similar companies.




 
Sailboat Racing Experience
Eric started racing with his dad Stewart in 1970 on Long Island Sound.  Sailing a PJ 43 named “Dove,” they won numerous distance races, including the Overall Performance trophy in the blustery 1972 Bermuda Race.  Twenty years later they won the ocean portion of the Annapolis-Bermuda Race in a Ladd 54 cruising ketch.  Eric skippered the MIT sailing team to runner up positions in two McMillan Cups and one Kennedy Cup regatta at the USNA.  He also was part of the U.S Admiral’s Cup team that competed in the 1979 Fastnet Race.  The Greenes are now a three-generation show welcoming Eric’s son Cole on their J-105 in the Annapolis area.
