Position overview:

As a Building Energy Modelling Engineer at Terao Asia, you will be responsible for developing and utilizing advanced energy modelling techniques to assess and improve the energy efficiency of building designs. You will work closely with our multidisciplinary team of engineers and sustainability experts to contribute to the development of environmentally responsible and high-performance buildings.

Job responsibility:

Under the responsibility of the Malaysia Operations Manager, the Building Energy Modelling Engineer participates in TERAO projects across Asia and globally, and covers the following main tasks:

·       Energy Modelling and Data Analyst: Develop and perform energy simulations and modelling using industry-standard software (e.g., Design Builder, IESVE) to evaluate the energy consumption, thermal comfort, and daylighting of building designs. Analyze simulation data to provide insights and optimize building performance

·       Analysis and Optimization: Analyse modelling results to identify opportunities for energy efficiency improvements and sustainable design strategies. Collaborate with project teams to implement these solutions into building designs

·       Data Collection: Gather and validate data related to building systems, materials, and occupancy patterns to create accurate energy models. Ensure data integrity and accuracy in all modelling efforts

·       Code Compliance: Stay updated with local, state, and federal energy codes and standards (e.g., ASHRAE, IECC) ensuring that building designs meet or exceed these requirements, with a particular focus on Singapore and Malaysia standards such as GBI, GreenRE, GreenMark

·       Sustainability Integration: Collaborate with engineers to integrate sustainable design features, such as renewable energy systems, passive design strategies, and energy-efficient design modifications, into building projects

·       Documentation: Prepare comprehensive energy modelling reports in English, documentation, and presentations for internal and external use

·       Continuous Learning: Stay current with industry trends and emerging technologies in building energy modelling and sustainable design practices
