Driving Research and Leadership in Buildings and Transportation Efficiency by engaging veteran and ROTC students on research projects in building and transportation technologies and analytics

Abstract

The University of California, Davis (UC Davis), as a leading University in Building and Vehicle related Energy Efficiency research, proposes to leverage its unique expertise in the fields of advanced lighting, HVAC, and water-energy technologies, as well as deep understanding of building audits and modeling of plug-in vehicles, to conduct basic research that advances efficiency solutions applicable to Naval on-shore operations. The University will strive to utilize and train prospective, current, and veteran military students to conduct the research which will include four specific research projects: 1) Creating Plug in Electric Vehicle Decision Making Data Based Tools; 2) Advancing Occupancy Sensing for Lighting Controls in Outdoor Applications; 3) Improving High Performance Recuperators for Waste Heat Recovery Cycles; and 4) Developing Portfolio-level Energy Auditing and Decision-making Methods & Tools.
