The Energy Engineer (Measurement and Verification, or M&V) will plan and execute M&V activities to quantify energy and demand savings for retrofit projects, utility incentive programs, and Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs). This role focuses on rigorous, defensible savings calculations in accordance with IPMVP and program-specific protocols.

• Specify and Oversee Metering: Identify required metering points, specify and source data loggers and meters, coordinate installation, and validate incoming data streams for quality.
• Perform Post-Installation Verification: Conduct site visits and spot measurements to verify equipment installation, operating conditions, and as-found schedules; document any commissioning or operational issues affecting savings.
• Calculate Verified Savings: Build regression models (whole-building, hour-of-week, change-point) and engineering calculations to quantify energy, demand, and cost savings, including weather normalization where applicable.
• Author M&V Reports: Produce baseline reports, savings reports, and annual reconciliation reports for clients, utilities, and program administrators; clearly communicate methodology, assumptions, and uncertainty.
• Support Utility Incentive and ESPC Programs: Prepare incentive application packages, respond to program reviewer comments, and support performance guarantees on ESPC projects.
• Data Analysis and Tooling: Use Excel, Python, R, or other tools to process large utility and interval datasets; apply statistical techniques such as regression, residual analysis, and outlier detection.
