Description
Environmental Design Solutions [EDS] is a sustainability advisory firm specializing in the built environment. With a rich history dating back to 2002, EDS has successfully completed over 800 green building and energy efficiency projects globally. The team at EDS is composed of experts who are dedicated to climate change mitigation policies, energy-efficient building design, building code development, energy efficiency policy formulation, energy simulation, and green building certification. The expertise at EDS spans a wide range of sustainable solutions, from macro-level policy advisory and planning to developing standards and labels for products and appliances. Projects undertaken by EDS vary from formulating international and national level policies and codes to integrating energy efficiency parameters at the building level. Noteworthy achievements include the development of the Energy Conservation Building Code [ECBC] in India and contributions to several international building energy code development initiatives, training programs, impact assessments, and implementations. The work at EDS aligns with the global pursuit of a sustainable environment, focusing on sustainable solutions for the built environment, strategy consulting for policy and codes, research, outreach, communication, documentation, and training. As a part of the team at EDS, you will be responsible for managing multiple projects simultaneously to deliver energy-efficient and sustainable consulting services to clients. This will involve conducting detailed building energy modeling simulations using specialized software to assess and enhance building energy performance, including HVAC systems, lighting, solar shading, and renewable energy options. You will analyze building physics data to identify areas for improvement and devise strategies to enhance building performance. Additionally, preparing technical reports, presentations, and recommendations to effectively communicate findings and proposed strategies to clients and project stakeholders will be a key aspect of your role. You will also provide expert advice on sustainability best practices, including renewable energy and energy efficiency. Leading client meetings, presentations, deliverables, report submissions, and resource planning will be integral to your responsibilities. To excel in this role, you should possess a Bachelor's degree with 6-8 years of work experience in the specific domain or a Master's degree with 5-7 years of relevant work experience. Maintaining a Domain Specific Credential or Accredited Professional status for at least 4 years is essential. Strong analytical skills, project management abilities, and the capacity to work both independently and collaboratively are crucial. Proficiency in whole building simulation using advanced modeling tools such as Rhino, Grasshopper, Honeybee, OpenStudio, EnergyPlus, eQUEST, DesignBuilder, and IES-VE is required. A solid understanding of HVAC system design and operation, as well as building science fundamentals, is necessary. You should also be adept at debugging models, applying sound engineering judgment, and performing QA/QC on model results with minimal supervision.,
