Who we are

Senior leadership

Hong Lee

Hong Lee Building Optimisation Manager

Hong brings to ESP 14 years of engineering experience, with 8 years specific experience in the configuring, commissioning, servicing, maintenance and software management of Building Management Software (BMS) solutions.

Hong is passionate about improving the working environment of every office based employee and is able to achieve this through maximising the performance of a buildings control system/s. It is not unusual to see Hong in a buildings plant room in the wee hours of the night trying to get to the bottom of the errant running of a chiller or related plant. His success is measured in the millions of kWh’s, hundreds of thousands of dollars and in the minimisation or elimination of tenant complaints.

We are very proud of the work Hong does and know our clients are too.
