What you would be doing
field review
performance testing
energy modelling
tool development
life cycle
lab research
Develop engineering problem solving skills related to building science.
Learn and support life cycle cost analysis, life cycle analysis (embodied carbon) and sustainability-related work
Field review of building enclosure components for new construction and renewal projects.
On-site performance testing of building enclosure assemblies, including air leakage and window water testing.
Support development of in-house energy analysis tools applying data science packages (e.g. Python packages/languages such as Pandas, NumPy, Eppy).
Research and testing in our in-house lab for new technologies and strategies for reducing energy consumption, optimizing resources, and improving durability of buildings.
Investigation of existing buildings, including visual review of as built conditions, documenting conditions via field notes, sketches, and photos, and providing recommendations for repair, renewal or rehabilitation.
Learn and perform energy modelling and benchmarking of existing buildings and new building design to evaluate energy performance and recommend potential energy conservation and carbon reduction measures with software such as eQUEST, DesignBuilder, and HOT2000.
What you bring
energy codes
passive house
building systems
design process
equest
data analysis
Understand common industry energy codes and standards, and certification programs (National Energy Code for Buildings, ASHRAE 90.1, Toronto Green Standard, CaGBC Zero Carbon Building Standard, Passive House etc.)
Learn about passive and active building systems contributing to whole building performance (energy, carbon, durability etc.)
Have exposure to the design process and how energy modelling can be used in a design assist role.
Understand the energy modelling process and the role data analysis plays; how to create an energy model (how to generate inputs), work in specific software (eQUEST, HOT2000, etc.), understand how to interpret and manipulate model inputs and outputs
