- Civil Engineering
- Building Engineering
- Energy Modeling
- HVAC Systems
We are seeking multiple MASc and PhD students for a funded research project in collaboration with the National Research Council Canada to develop a GHG emissions reduction playbook that provides building owners and managers with practical steps and guidelines for GHG emission reduction strategies across their building portfolio. Successful candidates as a group will extensively use building performance simulation software, conduct operator interviews and field surveys, employ data analysis techniques, and develop web-based software tools.
Qualifications
Ideal candidates are expected to have following attributes:
- Background in building engineering or related areas (mechanical engineering, systems and computer engineering, electrical engineering, engineering physics, civil engineering);
- Knowledge of building energy modelling techniques and HVAC systems (knowledge of EnergyPlus is an asset);
- Knowledge of programming environments such as R, Python, and Matlab;
- Familiarity with statistical analysis and modelling;
- Ability to develop new skills and explore new ideas.
