Energy consumption in residential and commercial buildings has increased dramatically worldwide in the last decade, due to the constant population and economic growth, the proliferation of electronic and consumer appliances. This has…
Energy savings from efficiency methods in individual residential buildings are measured in 10's of dollars, while the energy savings from such measures nationally would amount to 10's of billions of dollars, leading to the "tragedy of the…
Increases in energy prices and the global goal of mitigating CO2 emissions necessitate the development of intelligent Building Management Systems (BMS) that operate on an energy-efficient basis. Data Centers, buildings and/or group of…
Current methods to determine the energy efficiency of buildings require on-site visits of certified energy auditors which makes the process slow, costly, and geographically incomplete. To accelerate the identification of promising retrofit…
Poor energy efficiency of homes is a major problem with urgent environmental and social implications. Housing in the UK relies heavily on fossil fuels for energy supply and has some of the lowest energy efficiency in Europe. We explore…
Buildings account for a substantial portion of global energy consumption. Reducing buildings' energy usage primarily involves obtaining data from building systems and environment, which are instrumental in assessing and optimizing the…
In this paper, the modeling of building end-use energy profile is comprehensively investigated. Top-down and Bottom-up approaches are discussed with a focus on the latter for better integration with occupant information. Compared to the…
Commercial buildings are responsible for a large fraction of energy consumption in developed countries, and therefore are targets of energy efficiency programs. Motivated by the large inherent thermal inertia of buildings, the power…
Modern GPU-rich HPC systems are increasingly becoming energy-constrained. Thus, understanding an application's energy consumption becomes essential. Unfortunately, current GPU energy attribution techniques are either inaccurate, inflexible,…
Data-driven control approaches for the minimization of energy consumption of buildings have the potential to significantly reduce deployment costs and increase uptake of advanced control in this sector. A number of recent approaches based…
Smart energy in buildings is an important research area of Internet of Things (IoT). Buildings as important parts of the smart grids, their energy efficiency is vital for the environment and global sustainability. Using a…
This work presents a scalable Bayesian modeling framework for evaluating building energy performance using smart-meter data from 2,788 Danish single-family homes. The framework leverages Bayesian statistical inference integrated with Energy…
Before a building can participate in a demand response program, its facility managers must characterize the site's ability to reduce load. Today, this is often done through manual audit processes and prototypical control strategies. In this…
As buildings become increasingly connected and sensor-rich, intelligent remote heating control is rapidly superseding conventional local heating control. Such control algorithms often aim at reducing energy consumption by minimizing…
Energy disaggregation is the task of discerning the energy consumption of individual appliances from aggregated measurements, which holds promise for understanding and reducing energy usage. In this paper, we propose PHASED, an optimization…
Energy-efficient machine learning models that can run directly on edge devices are of great interest in IoT applications, as they can reduce network pressure and response latency, and improve privacy. An effective way to obtain…
Within the framework of building energy assessment, this article proposes to use a derivative based sensitivity analysis of heat transfer models in a building envelope. Two, global and local, estimators are obtained at low computational…
Energy flexibility, through short-term demand-side management (DSM) and energy storage technologies, is now seen as a major key to balancing the fluctuating supply in different energy grids with the energy demand of buildings. This is…
Energy is a limited resource which has to be managed wisely, taking into account both supply-demand matching and capacity constraints in the distribution grid. One aspect of the smart energy management at the building level is given by the…
The energy footprint of global data movement has surpassed 100 terawatt hours, costing more than 20 billion US dollars to the world economy. Depending on the number of switches, routers, and hubs between the source and destination nodes,…
