~ Airport Industrial Park (AIPA) is an owner developed and managed multi-level office / warehouse complex. The project is conveniently located adjacent to the Honolulu International Airport, only minutes away from Nimitz Highway and the H-1 Freeway. ~ 

Position Overview 

AIPA Properties, LLC is offering an exciting and innovative Energy Efficiency Systems Analyst position.

With over 800,000 square feet of mixed-use (office and light industrial) commercial real estate in two buildings with ten levels of steel and concrete structure, we own and operate the largest buildings of our kind in the State and represent the most intensive use of our kind in the country. As such, AIPA presents a unique environment for modeling energy systems with dozens of different exposure and as-built conditions.

This position affords the right candidate the unique opportunity to evaluate AIPA's systems for energy savings as a comprehensive "whole" with a focus on cooling towers, ventilation, solar loads, and air conditioning.

The goal of the Energy Efficiency Systems Analyst will be to audit and evaluate existing systems, to suggest and evaluate alternative energy-saving systems and to provide advanced technical contributions to energy use evaluation efforts. The successful candidate will identify evaluation approaches and perform data collection and analysis.

The ideal candidate will be able to independently oversee whole-building energy analysis to support systems optimization, energy code compliance, and compliance with energy efficiency incentive programs for various building types.
