An Open Platform for Predicting Energy Performance of Buildings: Accelerating Energy Code Adoption

Start Date: Not Started

Duration: 4 Years

This interdisciplinary research project aims to develop a robust, reliable, and adaptive tool capable of generating accurate, project-specific electricity load profile forecasts. This tool will support future revisions to electrical codes and technical standards related to building and community electrical load calculations, and will mitigate constraints imposed by the electrical infrastructure on the development of high-performance, energy-efficient communities, thereby accelerating the adoption and implementation of the highest feasible energy performance tiers of the national building and energy codes.
