Responsibilities
Technical Expertise & Troubleshooting
- Subject matter expert for chiller plants, pumps, cooling towers, air handling systems, automation & controls, and ACMV systems.
- Perform detailed plant and performance analysis, root cause identification, and corrective action planning for underperforming equipment. Analyse and provide solutions.
- Provide rapid solutions to field ational issues during enhancement or fine-tuning activities
- Conduct detailed on-site measurement and verification using industry-standard tools:
- Water-side instrumentation: Ultrasonic flow meters, differential pressure gauges, and temperature sensors
- Air-side instrumentation: Anemometers, temperature and humidity sensors
- Chiller performance measurements: Refrigerant pressure measurement – manometers
- Prepare Functional Design Specification (FDS) for chiller plant and optimisation strategy
- Evaluate and derive solution for air distribution systems for balancing issues, duct leakage, improper damper operations, and thermal comfort inconsistencies
System Design Validation & Optimization
- Review HVAC design documents (schematics, layout plans, control logic) to identify potential performance or constructability issues.
- Recommend modifications for better efficiency, life cycle cost, maintainability, and compatibility.
- Ensure designs support energy code and regulatory compliance
