About the ASSURE (Accelerating Sustainable and Super-Efficient Real Estate) project The ASSURE project is a collaborative initiative between the Indian Institute for Human Settlements and Infosys, a global digital services and consulting company. The main objective of ASSURE is to revolutionize India's real estate sector, which is large, rapidly expanding, and has a significant carbon and energy footprint, by advocating for the widespread adoption of High Performance Buildings (HPBs). In the upcoming years, ASSURE plans to provide technical support to major developers in India for key projects covering 100 million square feet. This includes upskilling 12,000 individuals, backing 30 innovative ventures, introducing a platform for performance measurement and verification to encourage HPB adoption and financing, as well as collaborating with policymakers and financial decision-makers to establish favorable policies and financial structures for HPBs. Within the lighthouse projects, ASSURE collaborates closely with developer teams to set achievable performance objectives, guide technology and design selections, aid in implementation and operations, and navigate financial and procurement pathways to ensure the successful execution and functioning of HPBs. Job Description We are currently looking for a Building Simulation Expert proficient in conducting thermal, energy, daylighting, and glare analyses through annual simulations. As a part of this role, you will focus on analyzing and simulating large commercial building projects, creating or modifying simulations for further evaluations.
