Model-based Energy Management for Sustainable Buildings
The project developed a model-based paradigm to design automated load discovery, monitoring, and scheduling techniques that are low in cost, highly transparent, and privacy preserving. The project bootstrapped an online data repository to enable new techniques for modeling loads based on their energy usage. The project leveraged these models to automatically discover the set of loads a building operates, and monitor their electricity usage using only aggregate electricity recorded by a building smart meter. This project was funded by the National Science Foundation under a NSF CAREER grant CNS-1253063.
