What this job involves

22 documented tasks, most important first. Showing 22.

  1. Identify and prioritize energy-saving measures.
  2. Prepare audit reports containing energy analysis results or recommendations for energy cost savings.
  3. Identify any health or safety issues related to planned weatherization projects.
  4. Identify opportunities to improve the operation, maintenance, or energy efficiency of building or process systems.
  5. Calculate potential for energy savings.
  6. Inspect or evaluate building envelopes, mechanical systems, electrical systems, or process systems to determine the energy consumption of each system.
  7. Analyze technical feasibility of energy-saving measures, using knowledge of engineering, energy production, energy use, construction, maintenance, system operation, or process systems.
  8. Examine commercial sites to determine the feasibility of installing equipment that allows building management systems to reduce electricity consumption during peak demand periods.
  9. Recommend energy-efficient technologies or alternate energy sources.
  10. Collect and analyze field data related to energy usage.
  11. Measure energy usage with devices such as data loggers, universal data recorders, light meters, sling psychrometers, psychrometric charts, flue gas analyzers, amp probes, watt meters, volt meters, thermometers, or utility meters.
  12. Educate customers on energy efficiency or answer questions on topics such as the costs of running household appliances or the selection of energy-efficient appliances.
  13. Perform tests such as blower-door tests to locate air leaks.
  14. Prepare job specification sheets for home energy improvements, such as attic insulation, window retrofits, or heating system upgrades.
  15. Inspect newly installed energy-efficient equipment to ensure that it was installed properly and is performing according to specifications.
  16. Analyze energy bills, including utility rates or tariffs, to gather historical energy usage data.
  17. Quantify energy consumption to establish baselines for energy use or need.
  18. Determine patterns of building use to show annual or monthly needs for heating, cooling, lighting, or other energy needs.
  19. Compare existing energy consumption levels to normative data.
  20. Oversee installation of equipment such as water heater wraps, pipe insulation, weatherstripping, door sweeps, or low-flow showerheads to improve energy efficiency.
  21. Verify income eligibility of participants in publicly financed weatherization programs.
  22. Evaluate the energy performance of buildings using modeling software.
