• Review project inputs and specifications; should be able to capture the scope and understand the complete requirements of the project.
• Review of Utility bills and working on Utility Analysis for creating Energy Baseline for EPC projects. Calculations of Energy Use Intensity (EUI) and Energy Cost Intensity (ECI) in kBtu/Sq. ft. and $/Sq. ft. respectively.
• Review of BMS trend data and working on Trend Analysis for verification of operation of different control strategies, Air Handler run hours, Solar PV generation, Cogeneration system generation etc. as per the EPC. Giving detailed insights to the client based on observations.
• Creating 3D model of a facility in eQuest software simulating building energy consumption and energy savings potential.
• Review of EPC contract documents, Pre and Post retrofit energy measurements of Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) etc. , and creating Measurement & Verification (M&V) and Construction report with details such cost avoidance summary, measured & non-measured savings, operational savings, improvement in EUI, reduction in GHG emissions etc. Working on M&V Options A, B, C and D as per International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP).
• Review of Lighting line x line with details on energy efficient lighting retrofits/replacements throughout the facility and working on lighting rebates analysis for calculating total rebates/incentives for each facility.
• Review of facility energy data and other basic facility information and working on energy benchmarking of the facility using Energy Star PM software. Giving insights to the client based on Energy star score and EUI & GHG emissions calculated by software.
• Review of utility energy data, site weather data and creating for base year tuned regression models in Metrix and Option C software. Tuning done to meet all statistical parameters as per IPMVP.
• Working on ASHRAE level I & II site energy audits for commercial and residential buildings with identification and presentation of all ECMs to client along with ROI and Payback calculations.
• Co-ordination with customer and able to propose a solution for the project and is responsible to ensure that projects are executed within the committed schedule and cost to meet the customer requirements.
• Preparation and participation for project kick-off / review meetings with technical queries and scope clarification and record minutes of meeting.
