Sponsored by National Science Foundation This is a 3-year international collaborative research project among University of Colorado Boulder, University College Dublin, Ireland and Ulster University in United Kingdom.
A water-side economizer (WSE) is a cooling system by which the chilled water is cooled by the cooling tower directly/indirectly without the use of mechanical cooling. Employing WSEs can decrease the building energy consumption by reducing the
Led by Dr. Zuo, this is a joint research project with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Schneider Electric. We have developed an open-source, free software package (see the following links) which provides
Previously, Virtual Reality seemed to be an application only possible in science fiction movies. However, with recent advances this technology has now become available to the general public. Pioneers in this field such as Oculus Rift, Google
Located in Tropical climate, buildings in Miami requires cooling around the year. Space conditioning and domestic hot water systems account for 41% of all energy usage in a hotel. To save the energy for space cooling and domestic hot water
Improving the energy efficiency of chilled water plants is important since they account for about 35% the energy consumed by commercial building cooling equipment in the U.S. Model predictive control is a feasible way to enhance the operational
Sponsored by University of Miami [video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIyFPsKVd1E] This project aims to develop image enhancement techniques for sonar based time-of-flight camera. The objectives of this project are: Obtain a 2D range Image of an
