• Conduct or supervise the audits and recommissioning of 25 buildings in NYC and Philadelphia.
• Collect and analyze utility, facility, operations, and other data needed to conduct ASHRAE Level III audits and full building retrocommissioning audits.
• Analyze blue prints to assess mechanical, electrical, and control systems and determine facility operational characteristics.
• Conduct detailed mechanical and control system energy improvement analyses and complete calculations using custom tools, spreadsheets and/or energy-modeling software.
• Identify, recommend, and/or review proposed energy-efficient design solutions and technology upgrades that are supported by accurate descriptions, measured and logged energy data, savings calculations, and cost estimates.
• Prepare energy and emissions impact assessment of proposed ECMs and RCMs.
• Develop Measurement & Verification plans and protocols, commissioning protocols, and post-implementation Operations & Maintenance protocols.
• Coordinate the integration of design engineering, project construction, start-up/turnover, and subsequent Operations & Maintenance procedures for energy projects.
• Assist with project development (e.g., construction planning, price, schedule, environmental, warranties, performance guarantees, risk mitigation plans).
• Oversee the engineering analyses and technical support work of project subcontractors.
