Conservation Services Group, Portland OR

Primary job responsibilities;
Engineering Modeling for the pilot project of the Energy performance Score. This involved using various software programs to calculate the annual energy consumption of over 70 homes throughout the Portland area. I also shadowed home energy auditors out in the field.

I would rate my experience as very good and I would recommend this site to other students because Portland is awesome, the people in the work environment are smart and helpful, and there is a lot to learn here.

I would have liked to have spent less time on the computer and more time with people during my placement.

To future students I would advise them to make connections with anyone and everyone they meet in their field.
