Organize and comply pertinent information for equipment files and databases
Perform or oversee the production of energy-efficiency studies in existing facilities including preparation of project proposals, defining project performance methodology, field measurements of energy flow parameters, development of proposed retrofits, energy savings calculations, retrofit cost estimations, life-cycle costs analysis, and preparation of project reports
Independently plan, schedule, conduct, and coordinate detailed instrumentation and controls system engineering work on highly complex projects to meet project time, cost, and performance requirements
Review outside A/E instrumentation and controls system design for compliance with LBNL standards and codes
Resolve review comments on construction documents and perform complete building code compliance checks
Support building trades during construction
Use AutoCAD2002, spreadsheet, word processing, Johnson Controls Metasys for Facility Monitoring and Control System (FMCS), building energy use simulation, code compliance, and end-use metering programs to satisfy project-specific requirements
Develop new, standard, CAD details, specifications, and control routines when required
Maintain a specialty expertise of laboratory instrumentation and controls system design, construction, performance, evaluation, maintenance, and pertinent record keeping for equipment files
May be assigned as Project Technical Coordinator (coordinate the work of other disciplines) on specific projects and provide technical direction to the Level 1/2 architects/engineers on highly complex, multi-discipline projects
