| Abstract |
This project develops an innovative approach combining engineering,
econometrics and open innovation for decomposing the building's
performance gap (BPG). After decomposing the BPG and isolating the
role of users, a living lab will test targeted measures to reduce
energy consumption. The project will also provide a better
calibration of predictive models for the construction of future
sustainable neighborhoods. |
