Job Description: 

CNT Energy is a non-profit corporation whose mission is to provide economic and environmental benefits to households, building owners and communities through energy efficiency and conservation. CNT Energy is experiencing rapid growth in three main areas:

(1) Residential Real Time Electricity Pricing and Smart Grid Development,
(2) Energy Efficiency in Residential and Commercial Buildings, and
(3) Community Energy Planning and Energy Information Center.

CNT Energy is an affiliate of the Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT), a 31-year old non-profit organization whose mission is to promote the development and perpetuation of vibrant urban communities that are both environmentally and economically sustainable, both in the Chicago region and throughout the United States. CNT Energy's current program and service delivery offerings include:

Dynamic Pricing and Smart Grid Development
CNT Energy currently supports real-time electricity pricing programs for two Illinois utilities - Ameren's Power Smart Pricing and ComEd's Residential Real-Time Pricing program. CNT Energy provides advice, informational tools and services to help residential customers manage their electricity costs and save energy. Partnering with both utilities and leveraging the available tools, customers can see significant saving in their yearly utility usage and bills. CNT Energy also consults with other utilities on how to make real-time pricing an option for their customers and how to integrate pricing programs with smart grid development.

Energy Efficiency in Residential and Commercial Buildings

Multifamily energy efficiency program - CNT Energy is working with the owners of multi-family rental buildings in the Chicago metro region to reduce energy costs and maintain moderate rents by providing technical and financial assistance in a one-stop energy efficiency shop.

Green building research and evaluation - CNT Energy is working with the Chicago Public Building Commission and USGBC to evaluate the performance of green buildings. CNT's LEED-Platinum building is being used as a model and demonstration project to help others learn more about how to build the next generation of energy-efficient, cost-effective buildings.

Regional Energy Planning

Climate change analysis - CNT Energy is part of a team assessing the carbon dioxide emissions of Chicago and the region, and developing strategies to reduce emissions.

Regional energy planning - Building off the Kane County Energy Plan, CNT Energy advocates the critical importance of planning for the changing energy environment and infrastructure needs in growing communities. CNT Energy is working with municipalities across northern Illinois to assist communities with Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy development and implementation.

Green and Healthy Housing
Green and Healthy Housing is a new initiative at CNT Energy. There is recognition among practitioners and local government that programs such as energy efficiency, lead abatement, pest management and other green and healthy homes efforts should be coordinated. However, joint delivery is currently the exception, rather than the norm. CNT Energy is working with other partners toward comprehensive implementation of Green and Healthy Housing Initiatives.
Position

The Green and Healthy Homes Coordinator will assist in developing the Green and Healthy Homes Initiative (GHHI) for Chicago. This initiative will build on existing energy efficiency and healthy home programs, such as lead eradication, to develop policies that will drive the alignment of programs toward jointly delivered services. The GHHI is directed by a working group that includes stakeholders and service providers. The GHH Coordinator will liaise with members of this working group, and collaborate with them on these activities:

1. Identify, measure, and document the potential benefits of co-delivery through research projects. These projects will include an inventory of existing programs, financial and benefits analysis, surveying program providers, and identifying best practices.
2. Compile a comprehensive set of findings informed by this research
3. Identity public and private funding opportunities

Accountability

The Green and Healthy Homes Coordinator reports directly to the Director of Research of CNT Energy. The Coordinator will work closely with CNT Energy's Director and other CNT Energy staff.
Responsibilities

* Identify additional parties as needed to join the GHHI working group
* Work with partners to define the scope of what activities should be included in "green" and "healthy homes" (e.g. lead abatement, integrated pest management, weatherization, rehab or new construction, green infrastructure, soil contamination around homes)
* Facilitate flow of information regarding best practices and coordination of activities between local program partners
* Report to the members of the Chicago GHHI working group and staff quarterly meetings of the group
* Serve as day-to-day liaison to national GHHI activities, including serving on the national GHHI Data Platform Steering Committee to ensure work in Chicago is aligned with other GHHI sites nationwide
* Identify public and private funding opportunities to further support the Chicago GHHI initiative

Qualifications/Skills

* Masters-level candidate, with housing, public health, and energy efficiency background
* Strong coordination, planning and research development skills
* Proficiency in MS Office applications (Outlook, Word, Excel, Access)
* Excellent written and verbal communication
* Ability to work well independently and in a team setting
