Contenuto del lavoro

What is the opportunity?

At Entuitive we take the performance of our built environment very seriously and are committed to lowering the climate change impacts of every project that we touch. As a Building Performance Analyst with our Advanced Performance Analysis group, you will be tasked with delivering high-performance design analytics and engaging in the continuous improvement of internal tools, workflows and deliverables.

About Advanced Performance Analysis At Entuitive

We believe that we can be a key player in society’s collective fight to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Central to this is the core principle that the analysis of building performance is no longer exclusively for niche projects but can add value to any design process. We examine issues that impact a building’s performance starting at the early stages of design to identify ways to reduce a project’s environmental impact that extends far beyond simply documenting compliance with a local energy code.

We are closely aligned with our Building Envelope team and focus on solutions that enhance a project’s energy performance and indoor environmental quality. Our ambition is nothing short of bringing pragmatic net-zero design solutions to the masses. We are equally comfortable providing the early-stage passive design analysis necessary to achieve the highest performing designs as well as the necessary compliance documentation to ensure that projects get constructed. In a nutshell, our service offering includes:

• Parametric optimization of envelope systems
• Solar gain analysis and glare avoidance
• Passive design feasibility
• Thermal comfort evaluation
• Compliance energy modelling
  
  

What will you do?

• Develop performance simulations to guide the design of high-performance buildings and deep energy retrofits. This will include not only traditional energy modelling but also daylight and glare analyses, thermal comfort evaluations and passive design studies
• Maintain the highest standards of technical excellence in the delivery of said simulation services
• Develop internal scripts, tools, and workflows to enhance the quality and efficiency of delivering building simulations
• Produce enticing graphical representations of complex simulation data to enhance client facing deliverables
• Prepare energy modelling reports to fulfil the requirements of building code, incentive programs and third-party certifications such as LEED and the Zero Carbon Building Standard
• Research trends and technologies associated with the design and operation of high-performance buildings to keep us at the cutting edge of project delivery
• Work with clients to confirm their performance needs and expectations throughout the design process
• Draft technical papers and prepare presentations to aid in the growth of a stronger and broader client base.
• Assist in the development of fee proposals for the delivery of performance analysis services
  
  

What do you need to succeed?

• A belief that the design and retrofit of buildings is a central element in society’s efforts to mitigate the worst impacts of climate change
• An entrepreneurial spirit and a keen desire to advance building simulation services at Entuitive from the ground up
• 2+ years of experience delivering building performance analysis in support of high-performance building design using IES-VE or Energy+
• Thorough knowledge of relevant codes and standards such as VBBL, BC Step Code, NECB, ASHRAE 90.1, LEED, and Zero Carbon
• Solid understanding of the principles of building science and HVAC systems and best practice approaches to their simulation
• Firm grasp of building science principals and thermodynamic fundamentals, including thermal bridging, moisture management, and fluid dynamics
• Mastery of data management and representation via Excel
• Post-secondary degree in mechanical engineering or building science considered an asset
• Eng. designation an asset.
• BEMP, CEM, BESA, CPHC/D, LEED credentials all considered assets
• Working knowledge of any of the following will be considered an asset: Sefaira, Cove Tool, Ladybug, Honeybee, Grasshopper, Python, Sketchup, Rhino, Revit, AutoCAD, Therm, Window, COMFEN, PHPP, RETScreen, GLD, Radiance, DIVA, Climate Consultant, Elements
• Experience with energy auditing and retrofit analysis for existing buildings will be considered an asset
