- Designation:Assistant Professor
- Project Period:
- 07/01/2016 To 09/04/2020
- Project Description:
When personality traits of energy users are considered, Behavior-based Energy Efficiency (BBEE) interventions can achieve maximum potential for energy savings, which can be up to 25%.
- Lead Organization:
- National University of Singapore
- Project Impact
- The project will discover and quantify personality drivers behind energy conservation behaviour. A better understanding of such personality drivers helps the development of the best-fit intervention strategy to achieve the maximum potential of energy efficiency. The project will identify the approach to incorporating customized behaviour strategies into building energy simulation and into smart home energy management system (EMS). The integration of behaviour models will expand the features and capability of energy modelling programs and lead to improved performance of building energy planning and auditing.
- Project status:
- On-Going Completed Terminated
- Project Outcomes:
-
- A comprehensive final project report
- A smart phone web application
- Algorithm/source code that classifies individual personality traits with effective intervention strategies
- Manpower training at Postdoc, PhD, MS, and undergraduate levels
