5. Controls Design & Sequence Development - Develop detailed HVAC sequences of operation aligned with:
- ASHRAE guidelines (e.g., Guideline 36)
- Owner project requirements (OPR)
- Specify control points, sensors, and instrumentation.
- Support the design of new BAS/DDC systems or retrofits.
- Review and approve control submittals, shop drawings, and sequences.
6. Commissioning & Retro-Commissioning (RCx)- Participate in or lead commissioning and retro-commissioning efforts.
- Verify proper installation and operation of controls and HVAC systems.
- Develop and execute functional performance tests (FPTs).
- Identify and correct operational issues post-installation.
- Provide recommendations to improve system reliability and efficiency.
7. Data Analytics & Continuous Monitoring - Utilize BAS data, cloud analytics platforms, or fault detection & diagnostics (FDD) tools.
- Develop dashboards and KPIs for energy performance monitoring.
- Conduct ongoing monitoring-based commissioning (MBCx).
- Identify anomalies and recommend corrective actions.
- Implement automated fault detection rules.
8. Energy Conservation Measures (ECM) Development - Identify, develop, and prioritize ECMs such as:
- Setpoint optimization
- Scheduling improvements
- Advanced control logic
- Equipment upgrades
- Develop cost estimates and financial analysis (NPV, IRR, payback).
- Prepare technical reports and business cases for stakeholders.
9. Utility & Incentive Program Support - Support utility rebate and incentive applications.
- Provide required documentation, calculations, and savings estimates.
- Coordinate with program administrators and verify compliance requirements.
10. Documentation & Reporting - Prepare comprehensive audit reports, including:
- Findings
- Energy savings opportunities
- Financial analysis
- Develop sequence of operations documents and control narratives.
- Maintain accurate records of system configurations and changes.
- Present findings to clients, facility teams, and stakeholders.
11. Collaboration & Project Support - Work closely with:
- Mechanical engineers
- Controls contractors
- Facility managers
- Commissioning agents
- Provide technical guidance during installation, startup, and optimization.
- Support project execution from concept through implementation.
12. Compliance & Standards - Ensure all work aligns with:
- ASHRAE standards (e.g., 90.1, Guideline 36)
- Local energy codes
- Sustainability initiatives (LEED, ENERGY STAR)
- Stay current with industry trends in smart buildings, IoT, and advanced controls.
13. Training & Knowledge Transfer - Train facility staff on BAS/DDC operation and optimized control strategies.
- Develop documentation and standard procedures for ongoing operations.
- Support continuous improvement initiatives.
Key Competencies / Skills - Strong understanding of HVAC systems and psychrometrics
- Expertise in DDC/BAS systems (e.g., Automated Logic, Johnson Controls, Siemens, Trane, Schneider, Honeywell)
- Experience with trend analysis and data-driven decision making
- Proficiency in energy modeling tools
- Knowledge of control sequences and optimization strategies
- Familiarity with ASHRAE standards and energy codes
