Internship: Environmental measurements for design of novel air conditioning system in Singapore
The Low Exergy Module of the Singapore-ETH Centre seeks a student for an internship in Singapore in summer 2015 to perform environmental measurements. This is part of an applied research project in the field of novel high-performance building systems called ‘Reclaiming Backlanes’.
Keywords: Measurement, energy efficiency, tropics, Singapore
The Low Exergy Module of the Singapore-ETH Centre (SEC) Future Cities Laboratory, a research institute of ETH Zürich located in Singapore, seeks a student for an internship in summer 2015 to work on an applied research project called ‘Reclaiming Backlanes’ in the field of novel high-performance building systems.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work in the transdisciplinary and international framework of the Future Cities Laboratory in Singapore.
The overall project aims at developing and implementing a novel air-conditioning system in the tropical climate, combined with upgrades of the architecture and urban design of mixed-use low-rise neighbourhoods.
We are looking for candidates with the following qualifications:
- Background in engineering – mechanical, architectural, electrical or computer – or similar
- Knowledge of scientific computing and data analysis (Matlab, Python or similar)
- Knowledge of thermodynamics and HVAC systems is beneficial
- Experience with measurements is beneficial
- Experience with building simulation (TRNSYS, Energy+, etc) is beneficial
The intern will be paid at the regular SEC internship compensation rate. The internship may have a duration of 3 up to 6 months. Ideally, the internship would commence as soon as possible. The work needs to be performed in Singapore.

To establish the status quo regarding energy use and to model potential savings of the proposed system, the intern will contribute to the project with:
- Field measurements of power consumption and environmental parameters in and around buildings
- Data processing and analysis to determine dynamic energy consumption
- Data aggregation as input to energy simulation
