Details

SISA Energy is an innovative energy auditing company with a mission to help reduce greenhouse gases produced by buildings. SISA is a startup that pushes the boundaries of energy performance improvement in the building sector. With engineering and data science expertise on board, we offer optimized energy solutions for every project's needs.

Our company would like to explore energy consumption of buildings by performing research on potential technologies that will fit our customers’ needs to reduce energy consumption and GHG emission. We would like to evaluate our new product’s needs and compare that against our current models to develop a comprehensive database.

This will involve:

  • Conducting background research on our product.
  • Identifying what incentives are available for certain energy conservation methods.
  • Creation of a detailed database of energy models and highlighting key components.
Deliverables

In this role, students will be mainly focused on designing a database of energy conservation measures for existing buildings. They will be working directly with a team of energy engineers who will constantly help them grow their skills. Based on their expertise and interests, they might be exposed to other tasks, including:

  • Automating engineering modeling procedures.
  • Researching green solutions to reduce GHG emissions in the building sector.
  • Researching cost information data for implementation of green technologies.
Mentorship
  • We will provide the students with a complete walkthrough of our current product and business so the student will have the necessary information to succeed in this project
  • Students will work closely with the primary project manager who is supervising and available for questions. This will also include occasional progress meetings where adjustments to the students' tasks and duties can be made if necessary.

We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

  • Current product understanding.
  • Industry standard tools and energy model approaches.
  • Input on choices and problems.
