DESCRIPTION:Talk 1: Bayesian Building Energy Management (B-bem) (Dr Yeonso
 ok Heo\, Dept. of Architecture\, University of Cambridge)	\n\nThis project
  aims to transform conventional energy analysis processes in order to bett
 er support the future energy management of existing non-domestic buildings
  – whether it is to assist in small scale changes to building operations
  or deep energy retrofits. The project has been developing methods based o
 n building simulation models to support building energy management with th
 e full quantification of stochastic and technical uncertainties affecting 
 building energy use. Main issues in the simulation model to represent real
  building behaviour are how to effectively integrate stochastic processes 
 of occupancy-related services into the simulation model and how to capture
  actual behaviour of mechanical systems. This talk will present three meth
 ods developed to overcome these issues. In order to effectively parameteri
 se stochastic occupancy-related loads\, a functional data analysis approac
 h has been used to derive and investigate operational signatures for zones
  in a case study building. To support effective modelling of mechanical sy
 stems\, two-level modelling approach has been developed to create the whol
 e building model based on a small set of prototype room models and couple 
 the whole building model with a heating distribution network model. Furthe
 rmore\, a Bayesian calibration framework has been applied to reduce the ga
 p between modelled and actual system behaviour. The talk will present the 
 applicability of these methods in the context of building energy managemen
 t through case studies.\n\nTalk 2: Building performance – from theory to
  practice (Tom McNeil\, Max Fordham)\nTom will review the practical aspect
 s of building performance\, covering a range of topics including\; estimat
 ing a buildings energy consumption during the design stage\, through to re
 viewing the energy performance when a building is occupied and in-use. He 
 will run through a series of case studies\, both domestic and non-domestic
 \, which look into occupant satisfaction\, indoor air quality and the prac
 tical issues of running and maintaining buildings. This will include findi
 ngs from a Government funded post occupancy evaluation project on a range 
 of social housing developments\, and POE findings from some of Max Fordham
 's own projects. \n\nTo register please follow the link: https://cibseyepg
