摘要：The increasing ecological burden of our lifestyle is threatening the integrity of the entire biomes, and our global environmental footprint exceeds the world’s regeneration capacity by about 30%. Considering that energy use in buildings represents more than 40% of global energy consumption and that humans spend 90% of the time indoors, technologies enabling smarter buildings can lead to significant reductions in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, and produce a comfortable, efficient and sustainable environment. The above can be achieved through smart building design, advanced automation, and intelligent computing/communication technologies to efficiently design, operate, monitor, and maintain buildings. In particular, integrated building energy management will be highlighted in the talk. The goal is to demonstrate that smart buildings are a fertile problem context for research and development. We will then briefly indicate how the same modeling and optimization framework can be extended to tackle another important issue of grid integration of intermittent renewable generation (e.g., using wind and solar), and how Industry 4.0 can serve as enabling technologies for intelligent automation. We will have time for questions and answers on technical questions and beyond.
