An OpenAI Gym environment for Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning Systems applied to intelligent energy management. https://github.com/intelligent-environments-lab/CityLearn

Occupancy detection and estimation

As occupants and their behaviors are responsible for a significant share of energy consumption, it is important to gather occupancy information for operating infrastructures efficiently. In fact, gathering and understanding occupancy patterns are considered as grand challenges for smart buildings and cities. Capitalizing on the pervasiveness of mobile devices with… read more 

Apples or Oranges? Energy Profile Clustering

In recent years, smart energy meters have been deployed to enable monitoring of energy use data with hourly or sub-hourly temporal resolution. The concurrent rise of information technologies and data analytics enabled the development of novel applications such as customer segmentation, load profiling, demand response, energy forecasting, and anomaly detection.… read more 

Research Highlight

Reinforcement learning for urban energy systems & demand response

Demand response, or demand-side management, improves grid stability by increasing demand flexibility, and shifts peak demand towards periods of peak 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
