Driving Research and Leadership in Buildings and Transportation Efficiency
Abstract
Project AbstractDriving Research and Leadership in Buildings and Transportation EfficiencyProposal by the University of California", DavisIn response to Office of Naval Research~s Broad Agency Announcement # N00014-17-S-B001. In response to the Office of Naval"" Research~ (ONR) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) #N00014-17-S-B001, the University of California, Davis, through the Energy Efficien""cy Center (EEC) and its affiliated research centers, submits the following proposal for consideration.The EEC and its affiliated re""search centers, faculty, and researchers are at the forefront of basic and applied research in the areas of energy efficiency techno""logies and solutions. In addition to advancing research, the EEC fosters a collaborative, multi-disciplinary environment to empower" the well-roundedprofessional development of both graduate and undergraduate students. By actively engaging students on funded rese"arch projects, and having them go through various professional development programs, thecenters have become a launching pad for the" careers of many researchers and professionals in the energyand transportation sectors.The portfolio of work proposed in this submission fall broadly into three categories:1. Energy Efficiency Technology and Solutions Research: The goal of this category of work is tofurther research on energy efficiency technologies and solutions in the building and transportationsectors with a focus on their applicability to the military in reducing inefficiencies and improvingoperational capabilities;2. Academic and Professional D"evelopment Opportunities for Military Students: The goal of thiscategory of work is to provide students ~ prospective, current, and" former military personnel aswell as military dependents in particular ~ with academic and professional developmentopportunities by actively engaging them in the ONR funded research as well as other relatedprojects; and3. Military Student Programs and Services: The goal of this work is to strengthen support services tothe campus~s military students as well as regionally through targeted o"utreach, coursework, andadditional professional development opportunities.The five specific research projects included in this pro"posal for consideration will include:1. Portfolio-Level Energy Performance and Fault Detection Cloud-Based Software Platform2. Creating an Embedded Building Sensory System3. Military Base Microgrid Optimization4. Plug-in Electric Vehicle Decision Making Data Based Tools5. Microchannel Heat Exchangers Designs for Power Generation and CoolingEach project will build on the existing research" and experience of the respective participating centers andwill generate tools, technologies, and insights that will help the milit"ary improve efficiency as a means tobetter achieve its mission. The project teams will actively endeavor to recruit student researc"h assistantsfrom the University~s military student community. In addition, the EEC will take a leading role inexpanding and streng""thening leadership, professional development, and academic services to militarystudents on the UC Davis campus and beyond.
