About the Role
Exercises independent judgment in evaluation, selection and use of standard techniques for engineering analysis and models. Solves problems encountered and contributes to sustainable project and design solutions.
Responsibilities
- Prepares whole-building dynamic thermal and energy simulation models, including advanced mechanical systems, architectural response to daylighting, lighting control systems, and façade component thermal/moisture response.
- Performs detailed engineering analysis to minimize energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions related to building design, construction, and operation.
- Conducts comfort studies, life cycle cost analysis, energy simulations, daylight simulations, solar shading analysis, and renewable energy evaluations to inform design and operational decisions.
- Supports DesignGreen team and Enterprise leadership in integrating design performance and energy modeling across firm projects.
- Predicts building energy use and savings compared to baseline using whole-building energy simulation and verifies performance through post-occupancy evaluations.
- Provides Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) and Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) for design alternatives.
- Reviews professional publications to identify opportunities for energy efficiency innovation and market transformation.
- Creates content and facilitates internal training on building sciences and energy analysis software.
- Collaborates with design teams to promote integrative sustainable strategies and leverage data for design decisions.
- Leads and/or assists with specialized project and enterprise research on energy, environmental, carbon, and sustainability issues.
- Advances enterprise-level Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) efforts.
- Produces technical reports and presentation materials.
- Participates in team meetings to discuss project and technical issues.
