Model basic building features such as: internal gains, multiple zones with central HVAC systems, daylighting, envelope measures that affect thermal transmission, and architectural shading effects. Model mechanical systems utilizing project specific inputs and central plant partial-load operating efficiencies. Use lighting photometric calculations in estimating light levels. Model complex ECMs such as heat recovery, fan and pump variable frequency drive applications, ground-loop heat pumps, and enhanced direct digital control strategies. Determine which energy systems can be successfully modeled with the energy simulation software program. Simulate program default values if they are appropriate for the particular systems selected. Establish procedures within firm’s modeling team for the transfer of design document details into the energy model. Develop appropriate schedules for occupancy, lighting, equipment loads, etc. based on input from project owner. Interpret model output reports and results, such as annual and monthly end-use analysis, equipment efficiencies, and part-load operation. Establish in-house modeling quality control process. Calibrate energy models to match actual post occupancy conditions including variations in weather, building operation and installed equipment. Produce accurate energy models where modeled energy use matches with actual facility energy use. Perform simple hand calculations and spreadsheet analysis to modify energy model input variables, model output results or to provide stand-alone analysis. Calculations shall follow the Exceptional Calculation Method as defined in the SEED Program Guidelines Three or more years of full-time modeling experience with a computerized building modeling tool for energy analysis on the list of programs approved for use under the SEED Program A technical degree from an accredited four-year university, with an additional four years of experience in the following areas: envelope heat transfer, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, lighting design, and energy efficiency technology. If a four-year degree is not held, then the energy analyst must have a two-year technical degree, plus six years of relevant experience The Energy Analyst shall be knowledgeable about all building systems (including building envelope, heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, and lighting systems) and shall have expertise with current energy efficient technologies. demonstrate expertise in performing building simulation modeling with significant experience developing project-specific model inputs versus using only program default input values.
