SUMMARY:Smart City Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nBuildings in cities consume 30-70% of the total primary energy. There are opportunities to reduce city building energy use by 30 to 50% using currently available technologies. This talk presents several research projects on smart cities funded by US Department of Energy\, including the exascale computing project multiscale coupled urban systems. The talk will cover recently developed data\, tools\, and case studies to support cities’ building energy efficiency programs. Challenges of data integration\, modeling and simulation of buildings at the city scale will be discussed. \nDr. TianzhenDr. Tianzhen Hong is a Staff Scientist and Deputy Head of Building Technology Department of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). He is co-leading the urban systems initiative at LBNL\, an operating agent of IEA EBC Annex 66 on occupant behavior in buildings\, and an editor of Energy and Buildings. He received B.Eng. in HVACR\, Ph.D. in Building Performance Modeling and Simulation\, and B.Sc. in Applied Mathematics from Tsinghua University\, China.
