About the role

Reporting to the Pre-Construction Director, this role involves working on a broad range of RIBA Stage 2 & 3 designs including District Heating systems, energy centre design which may include CHP, heat pumps and other renewable technologies and RE:fit/NDEE type energy frameworks involving the modelling of Energy Conservation measures (ECM’s). This will include working closely with our proposals Engineers and wider Bid Team to undertake Energy analysis and modelling to provide robust models to allow the development of concept designs and inform initial plant selections. You will be responsible for interpreting and manipulating half hourly energy data, estimating building demands, modelling buildings to determine heating and cooling loads and creating building energy profiles to size renewable energy plant. You will contribute to RIBA Stage 2 & 3 reports to support Tender and Bid submissions. Familiarity with modelling the integration of low carbon technologies into buildings and on an energy network scale would be advantageous.

Key responsibilities

  • Interpreting and manipulating data to provide annual demand curves from existing building data. This may be half hourly, daily, monthly or annual data for heating, cooling and power systems
  • Estimating building demands using available information and data, where information is not available using relevant benchmarks such as BSRIA and CIBSE to determine demands or modelling buildings using Thermal modelling software (IES)
  • Sizing renewable technology plant based on the demand curves created and commercial considerations using Excel spreadsheets and software such as Energy Pro
  • Undertaking bespoke Energy Conservation Measures (ECM) modelling using nationally recognised methods that can be measured and verified under Energy Frameworks such as RE:Fit or NDEE
  • Preparing summaries detailing modelling outputs for use in RIBA Stage 2 & 3 design reports.
  • Appraising and interpretating client requirements including Tender documentation
  • Having an awareness of cost implications within design
  • Liaising with Vital Energi’s in-house Bid Team, Solar PV designers and Proposals Engineers to influence designs and produce tender information.
  • Complying with CDM requirements and our in-house design processes
