Abstract
Buildings use more energy than any other sector and are widely considered as lowest-hanging fruit for reducing energy demand. But if the energy savings potential is so great, then why do buildings continue to be so inefficient? One major cause is due to informational gaps that prevent critical stakeholders—from policymakers to facility managers—from properly identifying poor performing buildings and diagnosing their sources of inefficiencies. New sensors and data sources are, however, enabling newfound opportunities to monitor and track our buildings like never before. In this work, I aim to address informational gaps that hinder energy savings by proposing data-driven strategies that leverage smart meter and open data sources. Empowered with such tools, critical stakeholders can make more informed decisions to reduce energy waste in buildings.
