*Life Cycle Energy Modelling & Information Management in Buildings*
ITOBO is a Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) Strategic Research Cluster
targeted towards Sustainable and Optimised Building Operation (2008-2010).
ITOBO will undertake research in Information and Communication Technology
that will support the development of a holistic, methodological framework
for life-cycle oriented information management and decision support in the
construction and energy-management sectors. The domain-specific goal is to
develop future smart buildings that operate in an energy efficient and
user-friendly basis while reducing its maintenance costs.
The successful candidate will lead a team of PhD researchers (x4) in the
development of integrated life cycle holistic environmental & energy
management systems for buildings (software and hardware) underpinned by
rigorous standardisation procedures.
A relevant track record and a deep understanding of building physics,
building energy simulation and building information modelling is essential
whilst experience in modelling building occupant behaviour and building
management systems (BMS) is desirable.
The duration of the post will be for a maximum of period of 36 months and
the successful applicant will be invited to take up the post as soon as
possible.
*Salary Scale: ?40, 578-?49,341 p.a. commensurate with experience.*
