OH my that goes witout saying, The MSMY bod has the best,
CEO: Timothy L. Algier (USA)
Mr. Algier brings many years of experience in creating design solutions and managing projects as a professional architect in Southern California. A graduate of USC School of Architecture in 1975, he managed projects in the Architecture and Technology Divisions of Fluor Engineers and Constructors, a Fortune 50 global firm specializing in the design, build and operation of oil, gas, and nuclear process plants as well as environmental remediation of these facilities. While working on a project to design a facility to house the process of plasma incineration of spent fuel rods for the DOE at MIT, he met Richard Sohn in 1997 and they have been working on environmental technology solutions ever since. In recent years Mr. Algier has also been involved in some creative architectural ventures like the redesign of an old theatre into an eclectic retro-style Casablanca theatre and restaurant combination with VIP facilities, a hi-tech chain of modern tailor shops and the design and remodel of an array of restaurants and shopping centers.
Principals and Board of Directors
CTO: Jerry Kammerer (USA & Korea)
Fort Lewis College, Colorado
Mr. Kammerer holds several technology patents in the manufactured building industry. After serving his country in the U.S. Navy, he came home and attended Fort Lewis College in Colorado on a full athletic scholarship. After graduating with a bachelors degree, he founded a home building company where he was one of earliest builders using the newest technologies available, including the Boland Truss. The Boland Truss served as a foundation and floor system in one step, which revolutionized home building by facilitating the constructing the foundation and floor systems by 33%. He remained on the cutting edge of the home building industry by continually incorporating the newest processes, like using panelized exterior walls which decreased building time. His buildings incorporated “the crawl space” as the heat and cooling Plenum and then he developed a new building system that incorporated insulated steel framing and polyurethane foam to create a super-strong and energy efficient homes that were durable and cost effective. In the last decade, Jerry began working with Toupes Technologies on the development and commercialization of a new process that he felt could produce state-of-the-art products, including Aqua Fuel. This process uses carbon to produce a new hybrid Hydrogen Gas or Super Clean Fuel that could provide power to his generators installed in his housing & commercial developments, and thereby making them energy self-sufficient.

BS Mechanical Engineering,
BS, MS, and Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering
PE Civil, PE Electrical, PE Mechanical, CPD, CIPE, CFPE, LEED AP Licensed Professional Engineer in 25 States
Dr. Nour has over 30 years of experience in the field of Engineering. His diversified work includes small building projects to large industrial facilities, for which he designed and specified a variety of equipment solutions and systems, performed construction support and multi-discipline coordination tasks. He also has done extensive work on commercial and residential projects where he has designed plumbing, HVAC, system ventilation, energy compliance forms, air quality control, and plumbing systems.
As a founder of ACE, his experience and practical approach to pragmatic design has made it one of the most efficient and dynamic consulting engineering firms in Southern California. Dr. Nour has customized programs and has automated all aspects of engineering design
for higher rates of accuracy and efficiency.
Based on his extensive theoretical background, Nour has been able to innovate new designs where the UMC codes were required variance due to inadequacies of the governing codes. In addition, this background has given Dr. Nour the specialized ability to diagnose the California Energy Laws from theoretical to practical and construction views.
