About the job
Bright Power is seeking a highly organized, dedicated, and detail-oriented Energy Modeler to join our Sustainability Services team. Energy Modelers perform simulations of ground-up new construction and building rehabilitation projects to evaluate proposed designs and energy efficiency scopes. Through building simulation, the Energy Modeler assesses opportunities to optimize design, as well as identify any major areas of potential excessive energy usage. Energy modeling is performed in line with different green building certification programs (Energy Star, Enterprise Green Communities, LEED, Passive House), for energy code compliance, or for evaluating energy efficiency measures against existing building operation.
