Overview: At Stantec we focus on providing cost-effective and sustainable design solutions to engineering challenges.
Our experienced staff recognize the importance of working closely with our clients, helping to establish and fully understand the specific needs of building projects.
Responsibilities: Collaborates with in-house Mechanical Engineers as well as Architects, Project Engineers, and Project Managers to create high-performance buildings by applying thermal modeling (using IES), energy modeling (using eQuest, IES, and Energy Plus), zonal airflow analyses, and daylight/solar analysis. Complies with state, local, or project-applicable certifying regulations regarding energy modeling, and coordinates directly with the Project Architect and other consultants to develop robust, whole-building designs which reduce reliance on mechanical systems and fossil fuels. Prepares reports, performs in-house coordination, prepares presentations to architects and other consultants, attends team meetings, prepares LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) documentation, and utilizes American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) standards and local codes. Will assist in the research, analysis, benchmarking, simulation, and optimization of building performance, developing and applying overall building performance metrics such as annual energy use and intensity, annual energy cost. Will use empirical data driven- and simulation-models to study energy use patterns associated with individual building design components (lighting, HVAC equipment, building envelope components, internal heat loads, and occupants).. Will also create models to research and analyze performance, inform design, and trend expected conditions resulting from daylighting, thermal comfort, and passive building design strategies. Will collaborate with the integrated design team to enhance and influence sustainable design for projects which include Educational, Health Care, Corporate, Residential, Municipal, and Multi-use facilities. Provides technical leadership to junior analysts, including mentorship, peer reviews, and direct supervision on specific tasks on larger projects. Identifies new tools and methods needed to keep Stantec’s capabilities on the leading edge in the industry. Provides assistance with targeted business development efforts aimed at increasing awareness of the team’s modeling capabilities to be accomplished through client presentations, authoring peer-reviewed technical articles for publication, and supporting proposal preparation efforts for the managing Principal Engineer. Qualifications: Master’s degree in Architecture, Building Science, Building Design or related field (willing to accept foreign education equivalent) as well as 3 years experience in the job offered or in building analysis, modeling, and simulation OR, alternatively, a Bachelor’s degree and 5 years experience as noted above. Also requires demonstrated experience using AutoCAD and eQuest (or another DOE2-based analysis tool) to analyze, model, and simulate building as well as using IES Virtual Environment or equivalent tool to create thermal simulation models, solar shading models, and daylighting models for buildings; demonstrated ability to develop a Modeling and Simulation Plan for a building design project; demonstrated ability to prepare building energy modeling and thermal comfort criteria for submission to the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) as required by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards: LEED-NC, LEED-CI, and LEED-CS; demonstrated expertise managing a team of energy modeling and simulation specialists to provide analysis deliverables on a set schedule; and demonstrated ability to prepare Washington State Energy Life Cycle Cost Analysis (ELCCA) calculations and submission documents for the Washington General Administration. .
Stantec Consulting Services Inc. is willing to accept a suitable combination of education, training and experience to satisfy the requirements.
