ENERGY AND CLIMATE CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION ENGINEER<br>
<br>
Transsolar is an international climate engineering firm with offices
in Stuttgart (Germany), Munich, and New York. <span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>We are seeking talented, highly
motivated engineers for our <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:state> office.<o:p></o:p><o:smarttagtype
namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags"
name="State">
<p class="MsoNormal">Transsolar develops and validate concepts for
high quality environments that require minimal energy use. To
achieve this we work collaboratively within the design team from
the start of the design process, considering each step from the
standpoint of fundamental thermodynamics. This generates a
climate concept in which form, material, and mechanical systems
are synergistic components of a well-orchestrated climate
control system; and conversely, an environmental control
strategy that is integral to the architectural concept.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We use a wide variety of complex computer
simulation tools to evaluate our concepts, developing unique
analytical methods based on a deep understanding of engineering
physics. We perform dynamic thermal simulation using TRNSYS to
develop and validate appropriate, reliable concepts in
relationship to the complex set of factors that is unique to
each project. Similarly, we perform daylight simulations using
RADIANCE and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) using FLUENT.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Transsolar engineers are often specialized in
their work, but all carry out a broad range of tasks.
