Building energy flexibility, demand response, and smart meter analytics.

My doctoral research is positioned at the intersection of building energy analytics, smart meter data, heating demand estimation, and demand response. The work focuses on how public buildings can be analyzed and operated as flexible energy resources, especially where electric heating, weather sensitivity, and renewable energy integration are important.

01

Load Disaggregation & Smart Meter Analytics

Research on hourly smart meter data, separating space heating and non-space-heating electricity demand, and interpreting energy demand patterns in public buildings. The aim is to support data-driven building energy analysis with transparent methods that can help explain how buildings use electricity over time.

Weather-Augmented Heating Demand Estimation

Work on weather-normalized analysis, multivariate weather features, heating demand estimation, outdoor temperature sensitivity, and robust energy analysis methods. This direction investigates how weather information can improve estimation accuracy and make heating-related demand easier to compare across time periods.

Electric Heating Flexibility & Demand Response

Analysis of flexible electricity demand from electric heating loads in public buildings, with attention to temporal flexibility, demand response potential, and grid-supportive operation. The work contributes to methods for estimating when and how building loads may be adjusted without overstating what the data can show.

Buildings as Flexible Energy Resources

Research interests include buildings as virtual power plants, flexibility exchange between buildings, energy communities, renewable energy integration, and distributed energy systems. This connects building-level analysis to future smart energy systems where buildings can contribute flexible capacity.
