The Commercial Buildings Integration (CBI) program within DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s Building Technologies Office (BTO) accelerates the voluntary uptake efficient building technologies that are market-viable but underutilized and develops solutions to overcome non-technical barriers to energy efficiency.  We accomplish this by engaging in applied research, demonstration and integration of newly commercialized or underutilized advanced technologies, developing tools and solutions to remove barriers to investment and drive uptake of efficiency measures, and utilizing market partnerships to drive technologies and solutions into the commercial buildings marketplace. To learn more about CBI, visit: http://energy.gov/eere/buildings/about-commercial-buildings-integration-program.

The successful candidate will serve as a Commercial Building Energy Efficiency Analysis Tools Participant and will be responsible for helping develop and deploy DOE’s tools designed to help the commercial buildings market use building energy performance data to make both operational improvements and capital investment decisions.

• Become an expert in the tools and systems developed and supported by DOE, including the Standard Energy Efficiency Data Platform (SEED), The Building Performance Database (BPD), the Building Energy Data Exchange Specification (BEDES) and BuildingSync, Open Studio, and the Building Energy Asset Score, all of which are described here: http://energy.gov/eere/buildings/analysis-tools. Use this expertise to demonstrate these tools and inform potential users about how the tools can offer value to their business.  Provide in-depth demonstrations of tools to a range of audiences.

• Support Strategic planning and project management of these building energy performance analysis tools to achieve program goals.

• Develop and maintain relationships with key commercial building energy efficiency program stakeholders at utilities, energy efficiency product and service providers, trade groups, regional energy efficiency organizations, federal, state, and local agencies, and others as required to increase the use of DOE tools, understand user needs, and channel user feedback into tool development plans, technical specifications, and future program direction.

• Perform stakeholder outreach activities including making public presentations to a variety of audiences and prepare a variety of briefing materials for BTO and EERE senior management upon request
