If needed, the member will be able to work remotely. Currently all staff are working remotely on a daily basis, and the member would also be able to do so. The member will either get a laptop with a VPN, or will be able
<br />to remote access into a city computer from their location. A work computer (desktop or laptop) can be provided to the member so they can remote into a city desktop if they do not have a computer or choose not to use
<br />their own. By either using a VPN or remote desktop, the member will be able to access the city network.
<br />The member will be included in daily check in meetings with the departmentvia Zoom. Daily check ins, or as needed, with the supervisor can be completed via a phone call or Zoom. Other meeting types such as Skype,
<br />Microsoft Teams, GoToMeeting, etc., are also available but currently the city is using Zoom.
<br />If applicable, indicate what activities listed above could not be performed remotely and list replacement activities and corresponding hours.
<br />All the activities described above can be performed remotely.
<br />Air pollutant reduction member position
<br />Service position summary
<br />Work with local government(s), school districts, nonprofit and community -based organizations, and their partners to decrease the overall energy use of buildings and vehicles through
<br />benchmarking/assessment, engagement, and implementation of conservation and efficiency measures (such as scheduling of HVAC/lighting systems or fleet reservations, equipment retrofits or replacement,
<br />expanded multimodal transportation to reduce vehicle miles traveled, employee engagement and behavior change campaigns). Encourage the transition to clean energy sources for building operations and
<br />vehicle refueling. Reduce emissions of air pollutants (e.g., fine particulates, toxics, GHGs) and strengthen the resilience of communities through greater preparedness for challenging circumstances, including
<br />adapting to Minnesota's changing climate. Address the impacts of more frequent freeze -thaw cycles and ice formation by improving facilities and transportation management/application of chloride (road salt).
<br />Interact with applicable state agencies, utilities, community organizations, and non-profit green building, green fleet, and/or green transportation programs (through campaigns, workshops, events, media,
<br />etc.).
<br />Essential functions
<br />• Assist with the collection, benchmarking, and reporting of baseline and current data on energy and water use and GHG emissions for public buildings using existing databases and tools such as the state
<br />of Minnesota Buildings, Benchmarks and Beyond (B3), ICLEI and/or Energy Star.
<br />• Retrofit public structures to improve energy efficiency, which includes implementing energy conservation measures to reduce operational energy consumption, upgrading thermal performance, or
<br />improving building maintenance. (Examples include aligning the operation of lighting and HVAC equipment with occupant schedules, upgrading to more efficient lighting or equipment, customizing
<br />facilities operations manuals, installing smart power strips/sensors/vending misers, exploring plug load/information technology power management strategies. A building is considered retrofitted if the
<br />combined energy savings total at least 10,000 kWh per year for structures 15,000 square feet or greater, and prorated for smaller structures.).
<br />• Identify and facilitate state/local government opportunities to finance energy audits, retrofit projects and retro commissioning through the Guaranteed Energy Savings Program GESP), Local Energy
<br />Efficiency Program (LEEP), Energy Savings Partnership, state master contracts, or opportunities as applicable.
<br />• Engage employees to change commuting habits and to make energy and water saving behavioral changes at work and home.
<br />• Encourage reduction of vehicle miles traveled and improved air quality through safe routes to school, biking and walking initiatives (active living), improved vehicle and fleet efficiency, complete streets
<br />planning and implementation, education about multi -modal transportation, and facilitation of safety and infrastructure improvements.
