Position Description:
Buildings account for about a third of U.S. greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and are critical to reducing emissions, promoting energy affordability, and improving community health and well-being. ACEEE’s Buildings program covers a variety of topics: zero-energy and zero-carbon new construction, retrofits, embodied carbon, affordable housing, electrification, workforce development, resilience, and advanced building technologies.
The senior manager will be a member of ACEEE’s Buildings program and will play a key role in the ACEEE-led National Energy Codes Collaborative. The Collaborative is a major new Department of Energy-funded initiative to establish a nationwide capacity building network that empowers states and jurisdictions to effectively and sustainably implement updated building energy codes. This position will lead in-person and virtual convenings, enhance collaboration among states and jurisdictions, engage key stakeholders, and work with the Collaborative Director to provide effective management across Collaborative activities. These activities are expected to lead to energy code implementation toolkits, externally reviewed research reports, topic briefs, presentations, and press interviews.
This position is an exciting opportunity for a candidate with experience in buildings, energy code implementation at the state and/or local level, and in facilitating collaboration among a range of stakeholders. The ideal candidate will also have a passion for addressing climate change through policy-focused research and an interest in furthering his or her career in a dynamic and growing sector. The senior manager will have the opportunity to contribute to or lead ACEEE research on energy efficiency and decarbonization in the buildings sector, including commercial, residential, and multi-family buildings. Highly qualified candidates will be considered for the role of Deputy Director of the National Energy Codes Collaborative.
In addition to contributing to ACEEE’s Buildings program, this position collaborates closely with other teams at ACEEE such as utilities, behavior, and federal, state, and local policy. Building on ACEEE research and the activities of the National Energy Codes Collaborative, this role also provides expertise to external partners and policymakers.
