Strategic  Area  at  IT  University  

Green  ITU  

•  Denmark  is  fossil  free  in  2050  •  ITU  is  fossil  free  in  2020  

1.  HolisGc  approach  to  reducing  electricity  consumpGon  –  building  (FM)  AND  usage  (TAP,  VIP,  students,  management)  

2.  Flexible  electricity  consumpGon  –  Supply-­‐aware  load  –  remote/local  renewables  

3.  Focus  on  social  aspects  –  Sustainable  incenGves  and  feedback  structure  throughout  the  organizaGon

Building  InstrumentaGon  

Building  InstrumentaGon  1.  Leveraging  legacy  instrumentaGon  –  Open  format,  open  protocols,  open  data  [Culler  et  al]  

2.  Complementary  instrumentaGon  – Monitoring  boards  

•  Open  source  (HW  +  SW)    •  Wireless  networking  

–  Low  bandwidth,  low  frequency,  high  security  •  Non  intrusive  sensing  

–  Split-­‐core  current  transformer  (clamp-­‐on)  

– We  experimented  with  Open  Energy  Monitor  •  Arduino-­‐based    

Building  InformaGon  Management  •  Model  Driven  Engineering  applied  to  building  maintenance  and  energy  opGmizaGon  

•  Computer  vision-­‐based  data  acquisiGon  (heat  dissipaGon)  

•  Energy  consumpGon  as  a  scheduling  problem  at  different  scales:  –  Building  (FM)  – Aisle  (collecGon  of  individuals)  –  Classrooms  (course  scheduling  +  collecGon  of  individuals)  

– Offices  (individual)  

InteracGng  with  Energy  ConsumpGon  

•  Feedback  and  incenGves:  –  Individual  vs.  group-­‐based  

•  Privacy  issues  –  InformaGonal  vs.  value-­‐based  feedback  

•  PosiGve  vs.  NegaGve  feedback  •  Impact  of  cultural/sociological  factors  •  Role  of  energy  consumpGon  in  public  spaces  

•  VisualizaGon:  –  3D  –  Augmented  reality  –  Tangibles  

•  Control:  –  Dematerialized  control  over  physical  environment  

•  Individual  vs.  group-­‐based

Conclusion  

Green  ITU:  •  1  building,  1  insGtuGon  •  2000  students,  500  employees  

Ideal  size  to  tackle  the  challenges  of  a    fossil  free  future.
