Paper on Carbon Emission Responsive Building Control has been published in Applied Energy.
This paper proposes a carbon emission responsive building control framework for controlling thermostatically controllable loads such as heat pumps and heat pump water heaters. The control decisions are made in response to the real-time grid carbon emission intensity signals to shift the loads from 鈥渦nclean鈥� hours to 鈥渃lean鈥� hours. The resulted energy consumption, energy cost, carbon emissions, and thermal comfort are compared for an all-electric residential community in Basalt, CO.

听Dr.听Jing Wang, the first author of this paper and former member of the SBS Lab, successfully defended her PhD dissertation on 鈥淥ccupant-centric Modeling and Control for Low-carbon and Resilient Communities鈥� in September 2021. Dr. Jing Wang's research focuses on resilient energy systems, building energy system modeling and control, and building-to-grid integration.听For more insight about Dr. Wang's scholarly work please refer to听this听辫补驳别.
