Autonomous Sustainable Buildings: From Theory to Practice

Preface

Buildings account for a large fraction of our total energy use. Any realistic decarbonization plan needs to consider them. Moreover, though technological upgrades (such as better insulation, newer and more efficient appliances, etc.) can improve their efficiency significantly, there is a relatively untapped potential for autonomous technologies to squeeze out much more out of the input energy sources feeding our building stock. This course intends to prepare students to become leaders in this nascent field that combines fundamentals of physics and building science with concepts from computer science, statistics and mechanical/electrical engineering, to name a few.
