WHO ARE YOU?
As the world develops and the green industry continues to grow, the demand for maximizing the benefits of energy usage in homes while minimizing cost and emissions also grows.

As your related experience will lend itself to the continuous improvement of the BEM Department, you will also have a part in performing internal quality assurance of energy models and training of new analysts for the RESNET HERS Modeler certification.
