The objective of this workshop is to bring domain experts from industry, academia, and federal research laboratories together to identify future research and development needs and to foster interdisciplinary collaboration. We are extending this invitation to a diverse group of experts with background in residential and commercial building automation and controls, facilities planning and management, building energy modelling and auditing, sensor development, and data analytics. The agenda is included below:

Day 1: Current state and future challenges in building data analytics applications (9 am to 5 pm)

·        Session 1: Smart Maintenance and Retrofits – Automated Fault Detection and Diagnostics, Prognostics, Remote auditing

·        Session 2: Smart Control of the Indoor Climate – Model-based predictive controls, Adaptive occupant-centric controls, Demand response, Smart grid

Day 2: Advances in sensing technologies in buildings (9 am to 12 pm)
