[Bldg-sim] NREL Energy Modeler SME Request (Update)

[Studer, Daniel]

It has recently been brought to our attention that some of the
information included in the NREL Opportunity Announcement sent out
last Friday (March 25, 2011) was unclear. The announcement did not
make it obvious that an honorarium would be provided in addition to
the travel per diem and the reimbursement of travel costs. The text
has been updated and a revised announcement has been appended below.


Opportunity Announcement

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is currently 
sponsoring a project to develop (1) job task analyses (JTAs), which 
identify and catalog all of the activities a worker performs in a 
given job; and (2) the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs), which 
define the minimum requirements necessary for a person to adequately 
perform those tasks, for the following six commercial building job
categories:

- Energy modeler
- Operating engineer/building technician
- Building energy auditor
- Energy/sustainability manager
- Commissioning/retro-commissioning practitioner
- Facility manager

The project goal is to create "national guidelines" which will define 
a common body of knowledge that any training organization will be able 
to draw from when developing curriculum, helping to bring the core 
competencies imparted by training organizations to their trainees into 
common alignment. This body of knowledge will also be used by the 
General Services Administration and the Department of Energy to help 
meet the requirements of the Federal Buildings Personnel Training Act 
of 2010.

To facilitate development of the JTAs/KSAs, Professional Testing, 
Inc. is seeking current industry practitioners who are interested in 
helping to define, promote energy efficiency in, and support their 
field of practice by participating in these JTA/KSA development 
workshops. Interested individuals are invited to submit their 
credentials at http://proftesting.rapidinsites.com. Please note that
each JTA/KSA workshop will take place in Denver, Colorado and is
anticipated to last 3 full days (not including travel). Reimbursement
for travel costs up to a fixed amount, a travel per diem, and an
honorarium will be awarded to individuals selected for participation.
Additional project details, including how practitioners will be
selected and where to direct project-related questions, can be found
using the above link.

NREL and Professional Testing, Inc. are excited to present this unique 
opportunity for individuals to have their voices heard in this 
important discussion. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
The NREL Commercial Workforce Development Team
