ABOUT US:
Buildings in our beautiful cities, where we live and work, are producing 40% of the CO2 going into our atmosphere contributing to global warming. We need to HEAT, VENTILATE, AIR CONDITION our buildings 24/7. Most of the energy consumed in a building is for our comfort and 50% of it is wasted!!! This is because buildings have little to no technology to control this.
Parity Inc. is a software as a service (SaaS) designed to reduce energy waste from buildings!! Using advanced algorithms, Parity is able to predict the amount of energy needed ahead of time to operate a building to meet its residents' demand and adapt the building's systems and machinery in real time. We save our customers and building operators:
- Time by automating setpoint adjustments and through our mobile platform that provides early alerting services when problems occur
- Money. Parity typically contractually guarantees the savings that we expect to deliver our customers. We provide quarterly and annual energy savings reports.
- Emissions by providing sustained reductions in the carbon footprints of the buildings we work with.
THE ROLE:
We are looking for a Building Intelligence Engineer based in the New York metro area to join our team and help us to ensure that all client buildings are adapted to work successfully with the Parity platform.
