3. RESEARCH

3.1. Areas of Active Research Research interests are in the general area of building energy systems analysis. They involve the interactions between building zones, the outdoor environment, and HVAC systems and their effects on energy consumption and the occupied indoor environment. Specific topics include the following.

Intelligent Control Systems for Buildings: Intelligent and integrated control of building systems. Use of adaptive and optimal control methodologies to improve real-time operation. Use of neural networks for on-line control and optimization of building energy systems. Effect of energy conscious control of HVAC equipment on comfort and air quality.

Humidity Control: Characterization of dehumidification loads and HVAC equipment requirements for humidity control in buildings.

Building Operating Dynamics: Use of structural building mass and active thermal storage for improving energy utilization.

Modeling and Simulation of Building Energy Systems: Development of simulation models for HVAC components and systems. Use of neural networks for real-time modeling.

Indoor Air Quality: Control of indoor pollutant levels through effective ventilation and air distribution. Interactions between building thermal demands and air quality. Modeling of air quality in building zones.

Alternative HVAC Systems: Alternative applications and operating strategies for conventional equipment. Feasibility of novel equipment and systems.

Renewable Energy: Solar thermal and electrical applications for residential buildings. Renewable energy systems for remote applications and the developing world. Development of zero energy buildings. Renewable energy education.

3.2. Research Funding Research activities include both traditional contracts and grants from public, private, and industrial sponsors, as well as testing and development projects for specific industry partners. CU often works with industry manufacturers and engineering firms to test and evaluate equipment at the Larson Laboratory and in the field. While the projects have not formally been classified as academic "Research Contracts," they always provide opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students and help maintain strong contacts with the industry.
