Description

Energy Efficiency Division - Building Energy Reporting Program Coordinator 

The Department of Energy Resources’ (DOER) mission is to create a clean, affordable, equitable and resilient energy future for all residents, including low-income and Environmental Justice populations, businesses, communities, and institutions in the Commonwealth. To meet these objectives, DOER develops and implements policies and programs to ensure the adequacy, security, diversity, and cost-effectiveness of the Commonwealth's energy supply. DOER is committed to working to promote energy programs and policies that are developed and implemented to ensure environmental justice among all the Commonwealth's citizens, communities, businesses, and institutions.      

The 2022 Act Driving Clean Energy and Offshore Wind requires reporting of annual energy usage of buildings above 20,000 square feet in the Commonwealth. As a member of DOER’s Energy Efficiency (EE) Division, the Building Energy Reporting (BER) Program Coordinator will manage the implementation of this law, which will further the Commonwealth’s overall building decarbonization efforts. 

The BER Program Coordinator will work with other EE staff to establish data tracking systems and ongoing data management and analysis, engage and coordinate with regulated entities and stakeholders, manage consultants and other tasks necessary to fully implement the BER Law. In addition, the BER Program Coordinator will support the continued development of regulations and guidelines for the BER Law, as well as administer implementation of regulations, including stakeholder communications, data collection, and reporting and enforcement. 

The BER Program Coordinator will support the larger statewide building decarbonization efforts by providing analysis of large building energy use and the publication of annual comprehensive reporting on large building energy performance. The BER Program Coordinator’s work will also help to inform the EE Division’s work in Mass Save Commercial and Industrial Programs and may serve for other cross-divisional, agency, and state building decarbonization efforts. 

The BER Program Coordinator will report the EE Division Deputy Director of Building Decarbonization. The BER Program Coordinator responsibilities include: 

• Manage the implementation of the large building energy usage reporting law including coordination and outreach to regulated entities including electric, gas and steam distribution companies and building owners to set up and maintain energy usage data reporting. 
• Manage project-related communications within the Energy Efficiency team including other BER staff, DOER, and external parties. 
• Coordinate with MassDEP and other state entities to ensure a coordinated approach to statewide building sector greenhouse gas emission tracking. 
• Manage a consultant contract for the development, maintenance and publishing of a qualifying building list, implementation and maintenance of an integrated data and CRM platform. 
• Support DOER, the Executive Office of Energy & Environmental Affairs (EEA) and other state building decarbonization efforts by analyzing reported energy use and preparing an annual comprehensive report on large building energy performance. 
• Support the continued development and implementation of regulations and guidelines, as appropriate, for the BER law including drafting language, stakeholder communications, data collection and reporting, and enforcement. 

To perform successfully, the BER Program Coordinator should have proven and demonstrated: 

• Data collection and management skills, with use of tools including Excel, relational databases, CRM, GIS, and/or additional data collection and analysis methods. 
• Organizational skills, attention to detail, and accuracy in reporting. 
• Ability to communicate effectively, create consensus and manage varied stakeholder and constituent positions that may be inconsistent with reporting requirements. 
• Experience with contract management, preferably for database development, data collection, analysis, and/or technical support. 
• Ability to manage complex projects from concept to implementation, creatively problem solve, and work in a fast-paced environment. 
• Ability to analyze and determine the applicability of data, to draw conclusions and make appropriate recommendations.  
• Ability to prepare and use charts, graphs and tables, and to prepare general reports.  
• Ability to communicate effectively in oral and written expression, including the ability to write concisely to express thoughts clearly and to develop ideas in logical sequence.
