Energy Modeler / Building Performance Strategist
Hybrid · Charlotte, North Carolina, United States or Orlando, Florida, United States
Job Summary
Energy Modeler / Building Performance Strategist focused on data-driven energy modeling to inform design decisions across multiple scales. Develop energy models for early-stage exploration and detailed design-phase studies, quantify impacts on energy use, EUI, peak loads, unmet hours, carbon emissions, and related performance metrics. Partner with architects, engineers, interiors teams, planners, and sustainability leaders to integrate analysis into the design process; communicate findings through clear diagrams, graphics, presentations, and actionable recommendations; support energy-code compliance, sustainability certifications, and owner-driven performance goals; maintain clear documentation of modeling assumptions, inputs, outputs, and version history; contribute to quality-control processes for energy modeling and performance analysis; help advance Little's tools, workflows, and internal knowledge around high-performance and regenerative design. Ideal candidates bring a strong foundation in building science, experience modeling across project scales, and the ability to translate technical results into credible guidance for design teams.
