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.
Sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) The coordination of thermal-electrical-control networks is essential for the optimal design of grid-interactive efficient district (GED) energy systems, particularly when renewable energy sources are
Sponsored by Defense Threat Reduction Agency This five-year project aims to model the transport of harmful biological and chemical compounds in urban environment using different modeling techniques, such as computational fluid dynamics and
Sponsored by National Science Foundation This project is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and is in collaboration with the US Department of State. This project will work to integrate innovations in smart and connected communities
Sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) CU East District Energy Plant District heating and cooling (DHC) systems commonly involve a central plant that distributes steam, hot water, or chilled water to buildings by means of insulated pipes.
The goal of this collaborative research, with ORNL (who is the overall project lead) and the Electric Power Board (EPB) of Chattanooga, is to create calibrated virtual models of buildings within a utility’s service area to enable advanced grid
In support of DOE’s Building Energy Codes Program, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) developed a suite of prototype building models representing newly constructed commercial buildings that comply with ASHRAE Standard 90.1 and IECC
This project is funded by Department of Energy and is a joint project with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The project goal is to develop a framework to prioritize behind-the-meter end-use resources, and a
As international sustainability goals and U.S. sustainability initiatives increase, sustainable energy applications are evolving from the conventional single building to the entire city. A 100% renewable energy city (REC) will undoubtedly play a
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
