RCN-SEES: Predictive Modeling Network for Sustainable Human – Building Ecosystems

Call for Workshop on:

Human Behavior & Building Energy Model Integration and Validation (Theme V)

This NSF – funded Research Coordination Network (RCN) in Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability (SEES) announces its third workshop on one of the themes: Human Behavior & Building Energy Model Integration and Validation. Participants are invited to submit an abstract of about 500 words for engaging discussions and presentations describing how the network researchers should be collaborating in the following, but not limited to aspects related to human behavior and building energy modeling:

  • Integration of human dimension in product and process modeling in green building design
  • New modeling methodology
  • Integration of interdisciplinary data models
  • Validation of model predictability
  • Analysis of model integration techniques
  • Dynamic life cycle energy information modeling

See the Agenda
