Energy Analyst

Job Overview and Responsibilities

You will be responsible for performing energy simulation studies aligned with standards such as ASHRAE, ECBC, and various Green Building Guidelines including LEED, GRIHA, and IGBC. This role involves creating detailed energy models for commercial, industrial, and residential structures utilizing software tools like Design Builder and IES. You will analyze building performance data to suggest energy-saving improvements, support project teams in designing sustainable buildings, and conduct sensitivity analyses to examine the effects of design variations on energy use.

The position requires assessment and documentation of HVAC system performance, lighting, and building envelope features. Collaboration with architects, MEP engineers, and sustainability personnel will be essential to optimize building energy consumption. You will also assist in preparing documentation for green building certification submissions, stay informed of emerging energy modeling methodologies and standards, and compile comprehensive technical reports and presentations for clients and stakeholders.

Required Skills and Experience

• 3 to 5 years of professional experience in energy simulation, analyzing building performance, and consulting on energy efficiency.
• Proficiency in energy modeling software such as Design Builder, IES-VE, eQUEST, Open Studio, Rhino paired with Honeybee/Ladybug, or EnergyPlus.
• In-depth knowledge of ASHRAE 90.1, LEED energy modeling protocols, and rating systems like IGBC and GRIHA.
• Understanding of MEP systems, HVAC design principles, and techniques to optimize building envelopes.
• Experience conducting parametric and life-cycle cost analyses.
• Strong capability to interpret simulation outcomes and propose viable energy efficiency enhancements.
• Excellent analytical thinking, communication talents, and proficiency in technical report preparation.
• Ability to work autonomously as well as collaboratively within cross-disciplinary teams.
