Postdoctoral researcher at the University of Pennsylvania

Dr. Francesco Smarra, postdoctoral researcher at the University of L’Aquila, is spending a research visiting period at the University of Pennsylvania co-funded by INCIPICT and by Prof. Mangharam. The main objective of this collaboration is exploiting learning techniques for predictive control of power consumption in buildings. More precisely, our techniques will provide a predictive mathematical model of the building behaviour that will be used to apply control strategies that maximise energy and money savings while guaranteeing thermal comfort for the occupants. We already applyed our techniques to the historical data of the Human Sciences Building of the University of L’Aquila obtaining promising results: next step is “closing the loop” applying our control algorithms to the same building. In perspective, the final objective is applying our methodology to networks of buildings of the (smart) City of L’Aquila.
