Senior Building Energy Modeler Job Listing at Burns & McDonnell in Kansas City, MO

Are you tired of working for a company with no hope of getting a "piece of the pie"? Think that your opportunity to be an owner in the firm is limited by the person currently in the corner office? Get your "skin in the game" by bringing your talents, creativity, and outstanding communication skills to a 100% employee-owned company that is repeatedly voted a "Best Place to Work". Burns & McDonnell is looking for the unique Building Energy Modeling engineer that has a desire to apply their conceptual and technical design experience, while actively engaging their entrepreneurial spirit. Whether you enjoy working with clients that are commercial, military, domestic, or international, you will have the opportunity use those leadership and people-skills that sets you apart from your peers. Successful candidate would be experienced with conceptual, detailed and compliance energy modeling, auditing and design of numerous comprehensive commercial, industrial and military projects.Targeted skill sets include:

• Conceptual level analysis of building energy demand, consumption and design alternatives working in interdisciplinary collaboration to study impacts of building orientation, thermal massing, and use of shading overhangs and low-E glazing systems - and improved efficiencies of lighting, service hot water and HVAC.
• Detailed Analysis of energy consumption utilizing whole-building energy modeling tools, such as EnergyPlus, eQuest and Trane Trace to evaluate impacts on overall energy efficiency from building envelopes - such as building orientation, thermal massing, and use of shading overhangs and low-E glazing systems - and improved efficiencies of lighting, service hot water and HVAC
• Proposing energy conservation measures for life cycle and economic analysis of facilities to meet energy budget targets and optimize building envelope and systems design.
• Developing detailed models in compliance with the ASHRAE 90.1 performance rating method for use in achieving LEED rating points.
• Experience with conservation measures and control systems such as variable frequency drives, motion sensing occupancy sensors, time clocks, daylight sensing lighting controls, direct digital control, and thermal storage systems.
• Control strategies using integrated energy management and control systems with occupied/unoccupied mode, time-of-day scheduling, optimum-start, demand load-shedding duty cycle demand limiting, economizer cycles, night setback and daylighting studies
• Evaluating impacts on overall energy efficiency from building envelopes - such as building orientation, thermal massing, and use of shading overhangs and low-E glazing systems - and improved efficiencies of lighting, service hot water and HVAC equipment.
