Along with Prof. Ian Beausoleil-Morrison and his group, we are developing MPC for window blinds on the CHEeR house (a large experimental house on campus). Modern buildings with large windows are prone to overheating when it is sunny. If traditional controls for blinds are used, the blinds are closed once overheating has occurred; but this is too late because buildings have an inherent thermal lag. But if we anticipate overheating using weather forecasts and simplified building thermal models. The blinds for the house were generously donated by Altex.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_687\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 400px\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-687 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/hbilab\/wp-content\/uploads\/WP_20150519_16_51_45_Pro-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"CHEeR house\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/hbilab\/wp-content\/uploads\/WP_20150519_16_51_45_Pro-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/hbilab\/wp-content\/uploads\/WP_20150519_16_51_45_Pro-160x90.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/hbilab\/wp-content\/uploads\/WP_20150519_16_51_45_Pro-240x135.jpg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/hbilab\/wp-content\/uploads\/WP_20150519_16_51_45_Pro-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/hbilab\/wp-content\/uploads\/WP_20150519_16_51_45_Pro-360x203.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">CHEeR house<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Investigation of the impact of electricity submetering on residential building heating use habits<\/span>. Inspired by noting that Burak Gunay&#8217;s friend kept their temperature uncomfortably low, we investigated 40 apartments to assess the heating using behaviour of occupants whether they had submetering (pay for their heating) or bulkmetering (heating included in recent). After 6 months of monitoring and a comprehensive survey, it was evident that occupants in submetered apartments keep their temperature considerably lower than their counterparts (about 2.5C). Prof. O&#8217;Brien appeared on CBC Radio to discuss these results.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_796\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 1506px\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-796\" src=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/hbilab\/wp-content\/uploads\/submetering-results.png\" alt=\"Sample result of submetering study: the logged temperature difference between all members of the bulkmetered and submetered groups.\" width=\"1506\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/hbilab\/wp-content\/uploads\/submetering-results.png 1506w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/hbilab\/wp-content\/uploads\/submetering-results-160x52.png 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/hbilab\/wp-content\/uploads\/submetering-results-240x77.png 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/hbilab\/wp-content\/uploads\/submetering-results-768x248.png 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/hbilab\/wp-content\/uploads\/submetering-results-400x129.png 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/hbilab\/wp-content\/uploads\/submetering-results-360x116.png 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1506px) 100vw, 1506px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sample result of submetering study: the logged temperature difference between all members of the bulkmetered and submetered groups.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We like to dabble in other neat research projects as well.
