Responsibilities

Partners with A/E firms and ESCOs from concept modeling through high-fidelity IESVE simulations to analyze design options and quantify financial cases to incorporate Armstrong products in building energy designs

Quantifies annual energy/cost impacts, peak-load reduction, sizing changes, and first-cost trade-offs for Templok and new solutions

Performs load calculations; support system selection and sizing (coils, fans, pumps) and psychrometrics; draft BAS sequences to leverage Templok within ASHRAE 55 comfort guidelines

Supports code-compliance modeling and submittals (ASHRAE 90.1 PRM/Appendix G, IECC, Title 24) and LEED EA documentation leveraging Armstrong products on customer projects

Builds early-phase screening tools and VE scripts/post-processing to accelerate building performance evaluations and highlight the contributions of Armstrong solutions

Leads IESVE studies across building types and climates; define scenarios and present results and recommendations to technical and executive audiences

Performs calibrated simulations (ASHRAE Guideline 14/IPMVP) for real projects; write concise M&V reports and case studies; present results to technical and non-technical audiences

Translates results into clear value propositions/metrics for the customer: peak reduction, hours-of-exceedance, PMV/PPD, economics (payback, LCCA), etc

Contributes to grid-interactive, load-shifting, and demand/cost analyses where applicable

Leverages IESVE simulations and project experience to inform product roadmap

Establishes QA/QC checklists, acceptance criteria, and reference VE files to ensure reproducibility of modeling results

Develops a library of IESVE simulation results and parametric runs as quick-lookup reference cases to inform product performance estimates across building/climate scenarios

Develops rough-order performance tools calibrated to VE results and first-principles heat-transfer methods for early-phase estimation and sales enablement

Maintains current knowledge of ASHRAE 55/62.1/90.1, Standard 140, IECC, Title 24, LEED and regional programs

Mentors junior modelers; perform formal peer reviews; deliver internal trainings on VE workflows, QA/QC, and documentation standards
