Projects

A cross-nation (Korea-United Kindoms) consortium-based research project aiming to develop a software suite to design and operate net-zero energy buildings at a community scale. 

Our group's objectives are to:  i) develop a computationally efficient simulation method to estimate the solar harvesting potential of photovoltaic panels either attached or integrated into the buildings, at a community or urban scale; ii) experimentally validate the simulation method developed, based on public datasets; and iii) develop a time-resolved design optimization algorithm for BAPV and BIPV design at a community scale, that maximizes the energy autonomy of the communities.
