Smart City Innovations and Experiments using New Climate and Energy Simulations (SCIENCES)

The project focuses on modelling of the energy consumed by buildings and their outdoor environment at the neighbourhood scale to evaluate strategies that can mitigate urban heat islands and climate change.

Habitats Optimized for Missions of Exploration (HOME)

This project focuses on the development of novel strategies for increasing the autonomy of space habitats; primarily: 1) root cause analysis of faults, and 2) uncertainty quantification in digital twins.

Towards Real-world Reinforcement Learning for Building Control

The project aims to develop enabling methods for practical deployment of reinforcement learning for building control.

Electricity Disaggregation

In this project we focus on a specific class of unsupervised algorithms based on deep learning techniques that can learn instantaneous power waveforms for individual devices as well as their activation patterns given sufficient data from a single meter.

Estimating Climate Change Impacts on Water and Electric Power Infrastructure in the Southeast U.S.

In this project we focus on estimating the effects of climate change on electric power systems.

GridBallast: Autonomous Load Control For Grid Resilience

The GridBallast project will create low-cost demand-side management technology to address resiliency and stability concerns accompanying the growth of distributed energy resources.

Human-in-the-loop Control of HVAC Systems in Commercial Buildings

The primary goal of this project is to design, implement, and evaluate a human-in-the-loop sensing and control system for energy efficiency of HVAC and lighting systems based on a novel depth-imaging occupancy sensor.

HVAC control logic verification

To be completed.

Infrastructure monitoring for damage assessment from sensors on-board vehicles

This project targets the development of a metadata inference framework to provide operational information, i.e., the metadata associated with sensors and actuators.

Operating Systems for Buildings

This project seeks to develop technologies for the creation of operating systems for buildings, including ontologies and schemas for hardware abstraction, middleware platforms and the tooling around these.
