New York is undoubtedly one of the highly populated business hubs in the United States of America. There are many dwellings across the city of all sizes. The city is full of Sky scrapers, high rise buildings, low rise buildings, apartments, condominiums, single family and multi family apartments, commercial buildings, etc.
There is definitely need of professionals with New York Energy Audit Certification who can test the energy efficiency of these buildings. This city being one of the oldest in the country, there is lot of scope for conversion of existing buildings into energy efficient buildings.
There is a much better and an exciting career for all those building analysts and energy auditors who would play a major role in converting the existing buildings into green buildings and be a part of the green building revolution.
Apart from studying the heat resistance power of various heating and cooling systems in the building, the energy auditor would also be able to understand the leakage rate of air through the building envelope.
They would be able to understand the window construction and the features of the door seals and what is causing air leakage if any.
This leakage directly affects the overall thermal performance of the building. The New York Energy Audit Certification will enable the professionals to assess the building efficiency, understand the physical condition of the building, and evaluate the programming of all the mechanical systems in the building such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) equipment and thermostat.
Once the building is inspected, the report that these professionals and analysts prepare would go to the Green Building Council. It is a detailed report stating the energy use for a particular study period and the impact on efficiency of the building. It would also have suggestions on improving the same for the coming year.
