About Me
Mahdi Shahrjerdi, AMIMechE
Senior Mechanical Engineer
Cleanroom & Critical Environment Specialist
Over 21 years designing mission-critical HVAC and building services systems for hospitals, BSL-3 laboratories, pharmaceutical cleanrooms, and next-generation space habitats.
I am a UK-recognised Senior Mechanical Engineer and Associate Member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (AMIMechE), specialising in high-containment facilities and energy-efficient system design.
My work bridges advanced engineering practice with cutting-edge research in AI-driven cleanroom technology and sustainable extraterrestrial habitats.
Professional Summary
With more than 21 years of hands-on experience in the design, supervision, and commissioning of complex HVAC and Building Services systems, I have built a career focused on mission-critical environments where precision, reliability, and innovation are non-negotiable.
My expertise spans ISO-classified cleanrooms, BSL-3 laboratories, large-scale healthcare facilities, and industrial energy optimisation projects — many of which have achieved up to 75% energy reduction through advanced modelling and re-engineering. Recognised by UK ENIC at RQF Level 6, I combine deep technical knowledge with digital engineering tools (Revit MEP, BIM) and a passion for pushing the boundaries of sustainable engineering.
Core Expertise
- HVAC Design & Optimisation (Air & Water Side)
- Cleanroom Technology (ISO 14644) & GMP Compliance
- High-Containment Laboratories (BSL-3)
- Healthcare MEP Systems & Medical Gas
- BIM & Digital Engineering (Revit MEP, AI-assisted Thermal Analysis)
- Technical Auditing & Judicial Expert Witnessing
Professional Journey
Since 2002, I have led mechanical and MEP projects across healthcare, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors. Notable achievements include:
- Design and 3D BIM modelling of MEP systems for Konarak Hospital (250 beds) and Gachsaran Hospital (64 beds)
- Engineering of specialised HVAC systems for BSL-3 laboratories at the Razi Vaccine and Serum Research Institute
- Successful transition of complex mechanical rooms to Revit BIM, reducing onsite conflicts by over 40%
- Delivery of cleanroom validation projects for pharmaceutical and biotechnology clients
In parallel, since 2014 I have served as a Certified Judicial Expert Witness, providing independent technical auditing and expert testimony in high-value engineering disputes.
Thought Leadership & Research
Beyond project delivery, I am an active contributor to the global engineering community:
- Author of 10 engineering reference books, including The Cleanroom Equipment Handbook (2024)
- Author of peer-reviewed research articles on AI-driven cleanroom design for Mars habitats and water quality assessment of high-altitude volcanic lakes
- Current Peer Reviewer for Elsevier (Acta Astronautica), specialising in extraterrestrial habitat engineering
My research and publications reflect a continuous commitment to advancing the future of cleanroom technology, sustainable systems, and interplanetary engineering.
