The position will support HVAC design calculations, sustainable building design, energy-code compliance, life-cycle cost analysis, and high-performance building projects. The successful candidate will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, contribute to client deliverables, and provide technical support to team.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop proposed and baseline whole-building energy models and perform HVAC system analyses using IES VE.
• Review architectural and engineering documents to establish building geometry, envelope assemblies, internal loads, operating schedules, and HVAC system inputs.
• Evaluate energy conservation measures, recommend energy-performance improvements, and perform life-cycle cost analyses of proposed alternatives.
• Perform daylighting, thermal comfort, ventilation, and airflow analyses, as required.
• Prepare energy-code compliance models and documentation in accordance with ASHRAE 90.1, LEED, and applicable local and state requirements.
• Review simulation results, troubleshoot energy model issues, and perform quality-control checks on technical deliverables.
• Prepare technical reports, compliance forms, calculation packages, and presentations, and communicate findings to project teams and external stakeholders.
