Tools & Methods

Under Construction... Coming soon...

Methods:

Modeling & simulation

  • Thermal-fluid indoor environment
  • Contaminant emissions & transport
  • Climate systems and controls
  • Thermal comfort modelling
  • Occupant models in buildings: presence, exposure, satisfaction, interactions

Climate systems & controls

  • Field monitoring and testing in real buildings
  • Systems programming: sequences of operation
  • Internet of Things (IoT): occupant interactive systems

Building Environmental Monitoring Data Analytics

  • Weather data: ambient temperature, relative humidity, solar irradiation, wind speed and direction
  • Outdoor pollution: particulates, ozone, CO, NO, VOCs
  • Indoor thermal: temperature, relative humidity, CO2
  • Indoor air quality: particulates (ultrafine, PM2.5, PM10), VOCs, formaldehyde, ozone
  • Systems: temperature, relative humidity, pressure differentials, ON/OFF operation, OPEN/CLOSE operation

Laboratory testing & experimentation

  • Ongoing collaborations with research laboratories
  • Environmental Quality Integrated Systems Simulator Lab (EQuISim Lab). Under construction…
