• Develop preliminary energy estimations using Excel.
• Undertake economic analysis of energy conservation and carbon reduction measures including lifecycle cost analysis (LCCA).
• Identify strategies and solutions for clients that improve energy performance, indoor air quality, and thermal comfort.
• Apply building physics assessments to buildings and master plans (such as energy modeling, water budget analysis, daylighting analysis, thermal comfort, microclimate analysis, shading analysis, views etc.)
• Support technical report writing efforts including data visualization. Prepare and deliver presentations to clients and/or design teams.
• Propose future low energy solutions for new buildings including, potentially, on site renewable generation, demand side management, battery backup etc.
• Prepare OBC and NECB Performance Compliance Path documentation for Building Permit submissions.
• Perform energy audits and consulting support for BOMA BEST,
• Assist with mechanical designs as needed. Duties could include but not limited to: - Concept level mechanical system design
• Preparation of schematics
• Preparation of design briefs
• Sizing and selection of mechanical equipment
• Geo-exchange sizing and design
• Sizing and layout of ducts and piping

Your Capabilities and Credentials

• Strong background in energy-efficient system design and simulation, daylighting, green building certifications, energy analysis studies, and energy management & incentive programs.
• Knowledge of climate change resilience and adaptation methodologies, whole of life asset strategies and design
• Knowledge in whole life-cycle Carbon (WLC) Assessments, energy measurements, life cycle cost analysis, gap analysis and feasibility studies
• Strong knowledge of HVAC and building control systems
• Sound knowledge of lighting systems, energy conservation measures, greenhouse gas emission, and building physics.
• Ability to achieve Secret Clearance from PSPC
• Eligibility for PEO membership as an EIT or P.Eng.
