• Perform building performance analysis and produce graphical representations of results for communication with our multi-disciplinary teams across multiple markets and office locations.
• Develop visually appealing graphical representation of building energy consumption, thermal envelope performance, daylighting, glare, thermal comfort, renewable energy analysis, climate analysis, massing, orientation and other performance metrics for project pursuits and active design work.
• Develop detailed energy and daylighting analyses to complement early design simulations and feedback.
• Manage the documentation for LEED energy credits, energy code compliance reports and other performance rating systems.
• Research performance modeling methodologies, workflows, and software to improve how the firm delivers high-performance design solutions.
• Develop research, case studies and white papers to present findings and recommendations.
• Assist in the production of narratives, approaches, and fees for project proposals.
• May perform related duties as required.
