In the construction context, integrating 5G networks presents numerous challenges. The NIST Industrial Wireless Team has published an article in the online
The increased adoption of energy technologies like smart meters, solar panels, and battery storage has led to a rise in electricity pricing plans with costs
To help reduce electricity consumption and its costs, university and NIST researchers proposed a strategy for controlling residential heating, ventilation, and
Objective The TE Flex project will provide the scientific basis for effective customer DER integration using transactive methods by 2026 with industry collaboration. Simulation studies in the NIST TE Testbed will investigate how transactive exchanges can optimally engage the flexibility of different
Objective To improve the performance of building systems by providing the measurement science needed to develop improved building commissioning techniques that utilize embedded capabilities of building control systems, accelerate the adoption of cost-effective commissioning as standard practice and
Objective To develop and deploy advances in measurement science that will improve building operations to achieve lower operating costs, energy waste, occupant comfort/safety/security, and smart grid integration through the use of intelligent building systems. What is the problem? Over 80% of the
Objective - This project will assess the seismic performance of structural steel SFRSs in buildings located in regions of moderate seismicity in the CEUS. The design of these building systems is commonly governed by wind demands. Two synergetic activities will be undertaken in this project: (1)
Zhelun Chen, Jin Wen, Yicheng Li, L James Lo, Gabriel Grajewski, Vance (Wm.) Payne, Steven T. Bushby, Amanda Pertzborn, Zheng O'Neill, Zhiyao Yang, Caleb Calfa
With buildings contributing significantly to electricity usage, enabling demand flexibility becomes a challenge, especially when accounting for occupant comfort
In the U.S., commercial buildings are responsible for approximately 36 % of total energy consumption, and the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC)
We present the development of a bias compensating reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm that optimizes thermal comfort (by minimizing tracking error) and
HVAC-Cx is a semi-automated commissioning software tool designed to facilitate performance analysis for heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC)
The first version of HVACSIM+, which stands for “HVAC SIMulation PLUS other systems”, was introduced by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in
The NIST Virtual Cybernetic Building Testbed (VCBT) is a whole building emulator designed with enough flexibility to be capable of reproducibly simulating
