How a building or project responds to local climatic conditions can have a major impact on energy use and user comfort, and we believe that data regarding local climate and associated design suggestions as based on these conditions should be available to designers internationally. Pending the success of our Climate + Energy platform, we have an eye on developing additional tools and/or platforms which can make the design industry more efficient and/or sustainable. /p pWe are funding our early‑stage startup work via consulting work in structural engineering, with an interest in also providing sustainability consulting services for building projects. All of our consulting work is founded on a strong commitment to sustainability, and we assess greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts when making decisions regarding materiality, construction techniques, and so on. We think principles of circularity in building design and construction should be the basis for as many projects as possible. /p pAs we are a small and new startup, this role will provide ample opportunity for growth, along with the ability to influence the direction of the company. /p /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
