PREDICTIVE MODELING NETWORK FOR SUSTAINABLE HUMAN-BUILDING ECOSYSTEMS (SHBE)
This NSF-funded Research Coordination Network (RCN) in Science, Engineering, and Education for Sustainability (SEES), led by Dr. Tao, is entitled Predictive Modeling Network for Sustainable Human-Building Ecosystems (SHBE).
It aims to develop a collaborative research platform centered on overcoming bottlenecks in engineering, software, and social/economic sciences that impede the wider application of sustainable building technology.
The network activities focus on defining an innovative, new interdisciplinary area, called “Sustainable Human-Building Ecosystems”, which integrates human behavioral science, social and economic sciences in tandem with the sciences of building design, engineering, and metrology for data validation of building energy consumption and occupant comforts.
