Responsibilities:
Sustainability Design Review and Approval:
-
Review and approve sustainability strategies in design submissions, ensuring compliance with project specifications, local environmental regulations, and international sustainability standards (e.g., LEED, BREEAM).
-
Assess designs for energy efficiency, water conservation, material selection, and environmental impact, providing expert feedback to optimize sustainability.
-
Ensure the integration of sustainability principles across all building systems, including renewable energy sources, green building materials, and waste management practices.
Life Cycle Cost Analysis:
-
Conduct detailed life cycle cost analyses (LCCA) to evaluate the long-term economic and environmental impact of different design options, materials, and systems.
-
Compare initial capital costs with long-term operational savings, considering energy consumption, maintenance, and replacement costs to ensure cost-effective sustainability solutions.
-
Provide life cycle cost optimization strategies to reduce overall costs while meeting sustainability goals, balancing performance and budget requirements.
Coordination with Design Teams:
-
Collaborate with architects, engineers, and project managers to ensure sustainability objectives are fully integrated into the project design, construction, and operation phases.
-
Facilitate communication between the sustainability team and other design professionals, ensuring that all aspects of the project align with sustainability targets and life cycle cost goals.
Quality Control and Compliance:
-
Implement quality control measures to ensure all designs meet environmental and sustainability standards, including energy efficiency, water conservation, and material use.
-
Conduct compliance reviews to verify that designs adhere to local green building regulations, environmental laws, and international sustainability certifications.

Technical Problem Solving:
-
Address and resolve sustainability challenges in design, ensuring that solutions are practical, efficient, and compliant with both environmental regulations and life cycle cost optimization strategies.
-
Provide technical expertise to help balance sustainability goals with economic feasibility, ensuring that designs meet both short-term and long-term objectives.
Documentation and Reporting:
-
Maintain detailed records of sustainability assessments, life cycle cost analyses, design reviews, and certifications, ensuring all documentation is up to date and accessible for audits.
-
Ensure sustainability performance data is accurately reported and communicated to all stakeholders, providing updates on progress and compliance with sustainability goals.
Client and Stakeholder Engagement:
-
Act as the main point of contact for sustainability and life cycle cost queries from the client, ensuring their sustainability goals and cost objectives are reflected in the final design.
-
Participate in sustainability review meetings with clients and stakeholders, providing updates, insights, and recommendations to ensure alignment with the project's
