Building Simulation Engineer
Building simulation engineers use computer-aided engineering (CAE) software to create digital models of buildings. These models are used to simulate the building's performance under various conditions, such as different weather conditions or occupancy levels. The results of these simulations can be used to optimize the building's design, operation, and maintenance.
Main Responsibilities
Building simulation engineers typically have the following responsibilities:
- Develop and validate building simulation models
- Use simulation results to optimize building design, operation, and maintenance
- Communicate simulation results to stakeholders, such as architects, engineers, and building owners
- Stay up-to-date on the latest building simulation software and techniques
- Participate in research and development of new building simulation methods
