NoOffer Description The Thermal Energy and Building Performance Group announces a position of Pre-Consolidated Recognised Researcher/Engineer (R2.1.3) in the field of Energy in Buildings and Communities with significant experience in simulation environments.
The research will focus on an integrated and systemic approach towards positive energy buildings and communities.
The group's vision is to investigate solutions and strategies that accelerate the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the building sector through human-centred design, energy efficiency measures, integration and management of energy systems, particularly distributed renewable sources in the built environment as part of urban communities.The candidate will be involved in research activities and projects in the field of energy management in buildings and communities, integration of HVAC equipment and renewable energies in buildings, and building performance simulation.
Integrated into a multi-disciplinary team, the candidate is expected to run and increasingly lead research activities as part of international projects or projects with industrial partners.
The candidate will perform simulations of buildings and integrated systems (HVAC & Renewables), comparing results from simulations with monitored data to reduce the known building performance gap.
Work topics will include key performance indicators of the built environment at several scales: building, city, and region.
The candidate must be adept at planning resources and ensuring deadlines, as well as reporting and communicating technical/research results.Topics included in the exam HVAC Systems and EquipmentRenewable energy systemsBuilding Performance Simulation for Design and OperationBuilding Performance AnalysisReduced-order energy modelsIEQ and energy performance in BuildingsNet/nearly Zero Energy BuildingsBuildings Performance Metrics and IndicatorsMetrics and Indicators at local/regional levelWhere to apply E-mail: ****** Research Field: Engineering » Mechanical engineeringEducation Level: Bachelor Degree or equivalentResearch Field: PhysicsEducation Level: Bachelor Degree or equivalentSkills/Qualifications:We are looking for a methodical and rigorous person with a scientific spirit, excellent team-player and results-oriented candidate with high communication skills
