Research

Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR)-based pre-occupancy evaluation (Room level)

Investigates various occupant responses to different built environments by performing experimental studies based on the IVR technologies

Internet of Things (IoT)-based real time automatic controlling (Building level)

Investigates relationships among occupant behaviors, energy efficiency, and indoor environments using the IoT sensors to determine the optimal control strategy

Simulation-based energy resilience planning (Community level)

Investigates when people are willing to adopt various energy-saving behaviors or technologies and temporal and spatial diffusion of these behaviors.

Non-Invasive Energy Monitoring

Provides an integrated solution from hardware to software for researchers to easily and efficiently acquire and analyze energy performance in the built environment.
