Building Performance Analyst III

Description

• Develop relationships with internal and external clients to gather information and build trust.
• Work with owners (see examples of clients below) of existing building portfolios to establish decarbonization goals and establish pathways to achieving goals.
• Rank and prioritize decarbonization measures for owners and project teams, understanding their priorities and existing conditions. Provide input on the impacts of different decarbonization strategies and/or design changes.
• Develop energy efficiency and carbon reduction measures at the building, portfolio, and district level. Assist internal mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design teams in scoping measures.
• Create project work plans for large tasks or small projects to match effort to project scope and fees.
• Perform detailed building-level and district-level energy calculations using hourly spreadsheets and data analysis tools.
• Analyze and report on existing building energy performance; includes benchmarking, weather regression and other forms of savings tracking.
• Communicate complex technical topics for non-technical audiences via graphical reporting and dynamic data visualization tools.
• Analyze utility usage patterns of facilities to establish a baseline and track reductions due to the implementation of decarbonization measures.
• Network and engage with local professional societies, seek opportunities to present work at conferences.
• Work with multi-disciplinary project teams (architects, MEP engineers, general contractors, etc.) on new construction projects to establish project goals and help the team in achieving those goals. Work across the typical new construction design process (i.e. Concept Design to Construction Administration) to deliver on project goals.
• Work directly with clients, and sometimes lead discussions with the client, throughout the life of the project. This includes regular meetings, milestone presentations, and general coordination.
• Identify process improvement opportunities and develops innovative workflows to streamline modeling and analysis processes.
• Perform whole building energy modeling via software such as IES VE for new construction and existing buildings. Maintain energy models across the life of a project.
• Work with construction, cost estimating, and design teams to establish pricing for decarbonization measures.
• Coordinate across various internal groups at McKinstry, such as Technical Services, Energy, EcoDistricts, Renewables and Electric Vehicles.
• Develop long-term decarbonization roadmaps for building, portfolio, and campus Owners to identify paths towards achieving their long-term decarbonization goals.
• Develop compliance documentation for whole building energy modeling (e.g. Local Energy Code, LEED, Living Building Challenge, etc.).
• Assist McKinstry’s implementation/construction side in implementing decarbonization strategies.

Requirements

• Five (5) years of experience in engineering design or related field is preferred.
• Some data analysis and/or experience with Python preferred.
• BEMP or other professional credentials (e.g., LEED-AP, WELL-AP, LFA, CEM, CPHC, etc.) preferred.
• EIT or PE credential preferred.
• BA/BS degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or equivalent field of study or equivalent work experience required.
• Experience with graphic design software such as InDesign preferred.
• Proficiency in interpersonal verbal and written communication (especially technical writing) required.
• Experience in evaluating construction drawings required.
• Understand systems that impact building energy usage and carbon emissions, including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, renewables, and architectural. This is at the building, portfolio, and district level.
• Intermediate knowledge of Excel, including use of Pivot Tables and/or Macros required.
• Experience with data visualization tools like Tableau and PowerBI preferred.
• Experience with whole building energy modeling software such as IES VE or EnergyPlus required.
• Carefully review own work and work delegated to others. Possess a fully developed “sense” for when something doesn’t seem right and initiate outreach for support and guidance.
• Some construction or engineering-related work experience preferred.
