In support of DOE’s Building Energy Codes Program, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) developed a suite of prototype building models representing newly constructed commercial buildings that comply with ASHRAE Standard 90.1 and IECC requirements. In this project, we will collaborate with PNNL on developing and improving the OpenStudio versions of...

Recently, our lab received a new funded project studying “Comprehensive Pliant Permissive Priority Optimization”. The project is funded by Department of Energy and it is a joint project with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The project goal is to develop a framework to prioritize behind-the-meter end-use...

Led by Dr. Zuo, this is a joint research project with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Schneider Electric. We have developed an open-source, free software package (see the following links) which provides practical, end-to-end (from the IT equipment to heat rejection to the ambient) modeling and optimization for data center...

Dr. Zuo received a research grant from the US Department of Energy for his proposal titled "Improving Data Center Energy Efficiency through End-to-End Cooling Modeling and Optimization". Led by Dr. Zuo, this is a joint research project with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Schneider Electric. Congratulations! For the official DOE...

Department of Energy reported their investment of $19 million to improve efficiency of the nation's buildings. Our group's data center project was involved.
