Concord Energy Strategies, LLC

Role Description We are seeking experienced 179D Energy Modelers to join our team on a contract basis. This role involves creating commercial building energy models using IRS-approved software to support Section 179D tax deduction certifications. The ideal candidate is highly efficient, detail-oriented, and capable of working independently with minimal supervision to produce high-volume, quality energy models. Key Responsibilities - Create energy models for commercial buildings using eQuest or other DOE-approved software (EnergyPlus, DesignBuilder, DOE-2.2) - Analyze architectural drawings, specifications, and construction documents to build accurate 3-D energy models - Evaluate building systems including HVAC, lighting, and building envelope for 179D compliance - Compare building energy performance against ASHRAE 90.1 reference standards - Generate accurate energy modeling reports that meet IRS requirements for 179D certification - Complete multiple energy models efficiently within tight deadlines - Contribute to improving internal processes to increase scale and efficiency of 179D services - Maintain documentation and quality standards for all modeling work Qualifications - Proficiency in eQuest energy modeling software - Demonstrated experience with commercial building energy modeling - Ability to read and interpret architectural and mechanical drawings - Understanding of HVAC systems, lighting systems, and building envelope design - Knowledge of ASHRAE 90.1 standards - Strong attention to detail and analytical skills - Ability to work independently with minimal direction Requirements - Prior experience with Section 179D energy modeling (start to finish) - Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil) or related field - Experience with additional DOE-approved software (EnergyPlus, DesignBuilder, DOE-2.2, Trane TRACE) - Familiarity with LEED, ENERGY STAR, or other green building certifications - Engineer-in-Training (EIT) or Professional Engineer (PE) certification - BEMP (Building Energy Modeling Professional) certification - Experience with process improvement and workflow optimization Benefits - Flexible remote work arrangement - Competitive contract rates based on experience and volume - Consistent, high-volume work pipeline - Opportunity to contribute to process improvements - Potential for ongoing engagement Ideal Candidate Profile We are looking for candidates who can hit the ground running and produce high-quality energy models efficiently. The ideal candidate is self-motivated, thrives working independently, and has the technical depth to complete models with minimal oversight. Experience working on tight deadlines and managing multiple projects simultaneously is essential. If you are passionate about energy efficiency and have a track record of delivering accurate, timely 179D modeling work, we want to hear from you.
