Engineering the Future: RC Modeling for Intelligent Building Control and Grid Integration

Hooman Azad (PhD researcher - Mathematical modelling for predicting indoor air temperatures of buildings)
As the race to net-zero accelerates, buildings are no longer just energy consumers they're becoming active players in the energy grid! But how can we make them smarter and more efficient?

Join us for an eye-opening talk on Resistance-Capacitance (RC) modeling, a cutting-edge technique that accurately predicts indoor air temperature in low-energy buildings. Discover how this fast, efficient approach is transforming:

- Urban energy modeling for smarter cities
- Building-to-grid integration for better energy management
- Model Predictive Control (MPC) for real-time efficiency

By bridging the gap between traditional simulations and real-world behavior, RC modeling is paving the way for intelligent, grid-responsive buildings. Don’t miss this chance to learn how data-driven innovation is shaping the future of sustainable cities!
