## Description

* Perform Whole-Building Energy Modeling: Develop baseline and proposed energy models in eQUEST, OpenStudio/EnergyPlus, IES-VE, Trane TRACE 3D Plus, or Carrier HAP for new construction, major renovation, and retrofit projects.
 * Drawing and Specification Review: Review architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and envelope documents to identify model inputs, including geometry, constructions, occupancy, lighting, plug loads, HVAC systems, and operating schedules.
 * Code Compliance and Certification Modeling: Produce ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G performance-path models, IECC compliance models, and certification submissions for LEED EAp2/EAc1, ENERGY STAR, Passive House, and similar programs.
 * Support Local Decarbonization Compliance: Develop models supporting compliance with local laws and stretch codes (e.g., NYC Local Law 97, Title 24, Boston BERDO, Washington Clean Buildings Act).
 * Parametric and Design Optimization Studies: Run parametric analyses on envelope, HVAC systems, controls, and renewable energy options; quantify life-cycle cost and carbon impacts to support design decisions.
 * Calibrate Existing Building Models: Calibrate energy models against utility billing or interval data per ASHRAE Guideline 14 standards for retro-commissioning, deep retrofit, and ESPC projects.
 * Renewable Energy Modeling: Support photovoltaic, solar thermal, geothermal, and battery storage modeling using tools such as PVsyst, SAM, and integrated simulation tools.
 * Generate Technical Reports: Author energy modeling reports, narratives, and exhibits suitable for clients, design teams, certification reviewers, and authorities having jurisdiction.
