Principal | Senior Mechanical Engineer

Ian Bost began working at BHB in 2001. As one of the youngest and newest additions to the leadership team, Ian still considers himself a kid despite being over the age of 35. Ian’s success at BHB has fostered several new relationships with higher education institutions for which he has become the primary point of contact. His projects at UNT, TCU, and UTA are some of the most technologically advanced for colleges and universities. They have included systems such as single-zone VAV AHUs and chilled beam systems.

Ian’s passion for engineering efficient systems stems from his desire to be a good steward of the land. He is involved with the AIA 2030 Challenge and works closely with our clients to provide sustainable design. Over the years Ian has continuously been involved with professional societies including the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the Texas Society of Professional Engineers.

Growing up, Les Brown wanted to be an architect. He later “came to his senses” and went on to receive a mechanical engineering degree from Geneva College in 1979. Les has over 44 years of experience in mechanical systems design and project management. He actively provides design and management for a variety of commercial, institutional, and municipal facilities.

His design experience includes HVAC troubleshooting, equipment replacement, code compliance, energy conservation, thermodynamics, building automation control systems, plumbing systems design, heat transfer, and temperature controls.

Allen Grammer, PE, NSSA AP

Senior Associate | Mechanical Engineer

Growing up with a construction engineer father, Allen was always fascinated by the giant machines; as he grew up, the technical and problem-solving aspects of the industry drew him to his career as a mechanical engineer. He’ll tell you that it is just as much fun as he imagined it would be. Allen found BHB during his senior year at TCU, when a classmate and then-intern at the company encouraged him to apply. His work experience also includes a summer internship with the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Washington, DC, and he is currently active in the leadership team of the Fort Worth Chapter of ASHRAE.

Not a lot of people know that Allen plays the violin – a little bit of everything, from Mozart to Charlie Daniels. He also enjoys all things tech (such as playing games on the computer), traveling to Disney world, and spending time with his wife Kacy and their small cat family.

Chandler Iozzi, PE

Associate | Mechanical Engineer

Chandler Iozzi initially thought she would follow in her family members’ footsteps in the oil and gas industry and study Petroleum Engineering in college, but quickly pivoted to Mechanical Engineering, where she found her niche and excelled. After college, she sought advice from her father, an architect, for recommendations on local MEP firms she may want to apply to, leading her to BHB.  

Since coming to BHB in 2018, Chandler has become an important member of the firm’s education team. Working primarily on the firm’s higher education, K-12, municipal, and faith-based projects, she has especially excelled in commercial kitchen design and enjoys working on complex projects. Her experience includes mechanical and plumbing design, VAV systems, VRF systems, and construction administration services. She enjoys participating as an industry mentor for the local student ASHRAE chapter in the ASHRAE Student Competition every year. She also serves as a committee chair and is actively involved in the BHB Women’s Group. 

Outside of the office, she enjoys baking sweet treats, crafting, and spending time with her husband, two children, and rescue dog doing anything outdoors. She and her husband are die-hard Texas Tech fans who love to visit Lubbock and cheer on their Red Raiders any chance they get.
