Building Energy Modeling Engineer

Position overview:

As a Building Energy Modeling Engineer, you will be responsible for developing and utilizing advanced energy modeling techniques to assess and improve the energy efficiency of building designs. You will work closely with our multidisciplinary team of engineers and sustainability experts to contribute to the development of environmentally responsible and high-performance buildings.

Responsibility:

• Energy Modeling: Develop and perform energy simulations and modeling using industry-standard software (e.g., Design Builder, IESVE) to evaluate the energy consumption, thermal comfort, and daylighting of building designs.
• Analysis and Optimization: Analyze modeling results to identify opportunities for energy efficiency improvements and sustainable design strategies. Collaborate with project teams to implement these solutions into building designs.
• Data Collection: Gather and validate data related to building systems, materials, and occupancy patterns to create accurate energy models. Ensure data integrity and accuracy in all modeling efforts.
• Code Compliance: Stay updated with local, state, and federal energy codes and standards (e.g., ASHRAE, IECC) and ensure that building designs meet or exceed these requirements.

Qualifications:

• Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) / Master of Science (M.S.) or equivalent education in Mechanical, Electrical, or related majors
• Strong writing and verbal communication in English and Vietnamese or French 
• 2-5 years of previous experience with building energy modeling and simulation software.
• Knowledge of HVAC systems, building automation, and renewable energy technologies.
• Familiarity with energy codes and standards.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary and multi-cultural team environment.
• Strong knowledge of HVAC systems, fluids, heat transfer, building envelope and energy-efficient technologies
• Computational fluid dynamics simulations (DesignBuilder, Ansys) to assess indoor operating conditions for occupant health and comfort will be highly appreciated
• Understanding of green building certification schemes (e.g. LEED, BREEAM, etc.) is appreciated
• On site experience, such as energy audits, is also considered a plus.
• Proficient in at least one Energy Modeling software (DesignBuilder, IES-VE, Ansys, etc.)
• Proficient with Microsoft Office Suite (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
• Experience with OneClick LCA is a plus
