What you will do:

OpenBlue Central Utility Plant (OB CUP) is an innovative software product which helps central energy facility managers and operators minimize carbon footprint and operational costs through the reduction of energy consumption and water consumption. The Modeling/M&V Engineer will develop detailed models that drive the optimization algorithms, assist with the commissioning and user training, and perform savings measurement and verification (M&V) analysis.

How you will do it:

• Conduct site visits to analyze current plant configuration, operation, and performance
• Capture, cleanse, and process data from various sources and apply data analysis tools and techniques to organize the data for use in OB CUP analysis
• Use energy modeling/simulation tools to estimate potential savings from implementing OB CUP and other energy conservation measures
• Use problem solving skills to validate and improve simulation results
• Following integration to plant automation systems, lead the process of commissioning to ensure OB CUP algorithms are dispatching in an efficient fashion aligned with simulation models
• Solve issues through plant automation systems to identify issues during commissioning
• Train and support plant managers' and operators' understanding of OB CUP software
• Perform savings measurement and verification (M&V) analysis after OB CUP has been operational, write reports, and communicate results with customers
• Provide Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly / Annual customer analytics reports, presenting to JCI leadership the overall effectiveness, savings and customer impact of OB CUP by customer, local office, local region and region of the world.
