Job Description
Role Purpose
This professional will perform ASHRAE level 1 and 2 energy audits, retro commissioning and commissioning studies, building automation system optimization projects, and other technical surveys and assessments. The candidate should be able to perform these studies with limited oversight and competent knowledge of energy efficient operation of building mechanical systems, control systems, lighting systems, building envelopes, and other energy-related systems. This role will require significant travel, estimated to be up to 50%.
This is a remote position and can be located anywhere in the U.S.
What this job involves
Key responsibilities include:
Energy Auditing
Identify energy conservation measures, calculate savings and costs following industry standards to recommend capital projects and operational improvements.
Deliver audit reports within specified timelines.
Review utility data trends and building automation system trends to benchmark and target investigation of potential energy conservation measures.
Lead identification and prioritization of energy capital projects, operational changes and central plant upgrades that result in reduced energy consumption. This may include HVAC, lighting, building envelope, demand response, plug loads, distributed generation (solar, fuel cells, cogeneration), and evaluation of new technologies and services.
Conduct ASHRAE Level 1 and 2 energy audits and walkthroughs
Retrocommissioning and Commissioning
Identify energy conservation measures through onsite assessments and review of building automation system sequence of operations
Develop commissioning plans and other commissioning documentation, and perform functional testing of equipment during site visits
Review engineering designs and recommend areas for improved energy efficiency and building performance
Test mechanical, electrical, and other energy-related systems to ensure design intent is met, utilizing building automation system to maximum extent feasible
