Energy Engineers, Except Wind and Solar
Energy engineers who specialize in fields other than wind and solar
energy typically work to optimize energy efficiency and reduce energy
consumption in buildings, factories, and other facilities. They may
design and implement energy-saving systems, such as lighting retrofits,
HVAC upgrades, and renewable energy installations. Their work involves
geoscience-related tasks, including:
-
Conducting energy audits to identify areas where energy is being
wasted and recommend solutions to improve efficiency. This may
involve analyzing utility bills, inspecting equipment, and using
specialized software to model energy usage.
-
Researching and developing new energy-efficient technologies. They
may work with scientists and engineers from other fields to create
innovative solutions that can help reduce our reliance on fossil
fuels, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and decrease human impact on
the environment.
