Thermal Comfort & Smart Buildings

This is an excerpt from our review paper Comprehensive analysis of the relationship between thermal comfort and building control research - A Read more 

About Us

The Intelligent Environments Laboratory (IEL), led by Prof. Zoltán Nagy, is an interdisciplinary research group within the Building Energy & Environments (BEE) and Sustainable Systems (SuS) Programs of the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering (CAEE) in the Cockrell School of Engineering of the University of Texas at Austin.

The aim of our research is to rethink the built environment and define Smart Buildings and Cities as spaces that adapt to their occupants and reduce their energy consumption.

We combine data science with building science and apply machine learning to the building and urban scale
