An engineer's studio for modeling what matters.
Clean Analytics LLC is a small, independent company built around a long-running obsession: the way energy moves through complex systems, and how to model it well enough to make a real decision.
Matthew Jones
Mechanical Engineer · Founder
I've been a mechanical engineer since 2008. I earned my B.S. from Penn State and my M.S. from Stevens Institute of Technology, and I've spent 18 years as a civilian engineer for the U.S. Army working on large-caliber weapon systems.
I also served seven years in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard as a field artillery officer — an experience that shaped how I think about planning, precision, and responsibility under pressure.
Technically, I specialize in modeling lumped capacitance transient systems, with a particular love for MATLAB. There's something deeply satisfying about taking a messy, time-dependent problem and turning it into a model that tells you something true — and then validating it against the real world.
I do all of this because I genuinely enjoy building and validating models, and because good models help people. Outside of engineering, I'm a volunteer EMT and an engineering mentor for Penn State University.
I started Clean Analytics to bring those skills into the residential sector — to see if the same simulation discipline I've used for defense work can help homeowners, contractors, and federal employees make better-informed decisions about the things that actually affect their lives.

Simulation should answer a question.
A model is only as good as the decision it supports. Every tool from Clean Analytics is built around a specific question someone is actually trying to answer — when to retire, what HVAC system to install, how an upgrade will pay off over time.
The math underneath can be as deep as it needs to be. The output should be clear enough to act on.
