Seminar 60 -- Modeling and Optimization of Sustainable Communities PDF

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

There has been significant research over the last decades on energy efficiency, demand response, and energy modeling. However, much of this effort has been done at the individual building level with less research at the community or university campus level. University campuses are the place where the next generation of engineers and professionals are being trained. Net-zero energy communities (NZEC) also represent unique challenges. This seminar will present: a) Modelica modeling efforts for net zero energy communities and b) co-simulation environment with the capability to perform building energy modeling, renewable energy analysis, and demand and/or consumption optimization for university campuses.
