SUMMARY:16th Annual Krueckeberg Doctoral Conference in Urban Studies\, Urban Planning\, and Public Policy
DESCRIPTION:The Bloustein School will present the 16th Annual Krueckeberg Doctoral Conference in Urban Studies\, Urban Planning\, and Public Policy on Friday\, April 5\, 2024. The conference is organized by doctoral students for doctoral students engaged in urban planning\, urban studies\, health\, and policy-related research across disciplines and universities in the tri-state NJ-NY-PA metropolitan region. Named after Professor Donald A. Krueckeberg\, the conference commemorates Don Krueckeberg’s long-running commitment to doctoral education by providing a one-day forum highlighting doctoral student research at the cutting edge of urban studies\, planning\, and public policy. \nDoctoral students at any stage of dissertation research are invited and encouraged to present their work at the conference. First-year doctoral students are invited to participate to try out a topic\, and advanced candidates may present sections of research or a finished dissertation\, or anywhere in between. Past presentations have outlined tentative research topics\, surveyed literature\, reported interim findings\, and overviewed completed dissertations. The conference aims to encourage questions\, comments\, and discussions during each session. \nAbstracts are accepted for submission through 5pm on Friday\, March 8\, 2024 at https://go.rutgers.edu/krueckebergabstract \nA well-known and respected scholar in the planning profession\, Professor Krueckeberg’s special interests and contributions were in the areas of planning history\, property theory\, and land use policy. His books\, Introduction to Planning History in the United States\, The American Planner: Biographies and Recollections\, and Urban Planning Analysis\, still serve as important references for scholars and professionals in planning and public policy. \nAs a major contributor to urban planning and policy studies\, the Bloustein School’s Krueckeberg Conference showcases some of the most unique and forward-thinking research in the discipline. Past conferences have included doctoral candidates in urban studies\, urban planning and public policy from Columbia University\, The New School\, the University of Pennsylvania\, and more.

SUMMARY:Occupant-Centric Simulation-Aided Building Design--Methods to obtain the occupant perspective
DESCRIPTION:International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA) is a non-profit international society of building performance simulation researchers\, developers and practitioners\, dedicated to improving the built environment. Their new seminar series\, Occupant-Centric Simulation-Aided Building Design\, promotes occupants as a focal point for the design process. A multi-disciplinary\, globally recognized team of scholars and practitioners responsible for an important new textbook will discuss theoretical and practical approaches to placing occupants and their needs at the heart of the design process. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar Clinton Andrews\, Bloustein School Professor and Associate Dean for Research will critically examine methods for learning about the occupant’s perspective regarding the design of buildings. He will discuss the nature of occupant data; the strengths and weaknesses of self-report\, observational\, and simulation methods; and the need to represent occupants prudently during the design process.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is required at https://bit.ly/IBPSA_webinars_candrews\n\nSee the complete webinar series flyer.

SUMMARY:Leveraging Data-Driven Methods and Time-of-Use Data to Evaluate Urban Decarbonization Policies and Streamline Building Energy Audits
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Abigail Andrews\, Post-Doctoral Associate and NJ BPU Energy Fellow in Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy’s Center for Urban Policy Research.  \nIdentifying opportunities to minimize energy use and carbon emissions of buildings is important for urban decarbonization. However\, doing so often necessitates a capital-intensie building energy audit that requires time-intensive on-site inspections. As municipalities across the United States mandate various urban decarbonization policies (e.g.\, benchmarking\, audits\, and building performance standards) there is a growing need for building owners to audit buildings efficiently and at a low cost. Emerging data streams (e.g.\, automated meter infrastructure) allow the evaluation of real time energy use and carbon emissions data. This data not only provides a deeper understanding into building operations but also may provide audit insights and decarbonization opportunities. This seminar will discuss the potential of integrating time-of-use data in urban decarbonization policy and the development of an integrated physics-based model and data-classification method to identify potential inefficiencies in a building using electric meter data. Time-of-use energy data paired with machine learning may streamline urban decarbonization policy by improving the effectiveness and scalability of evaluation processes. \nDr. Andrews received her PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Stanford University at the Urban Informatics Lab. She also holds a MS in Sustainable Design and Construction from Stanford University and a BA in Environmental Policy from Barnard College. Dr. Andrews uses data from building energy policies (e.g.\, benchmarking\, building performance standards\, auditing) to evaluate urban decarbonization potential and to push forward equitable building decarbonization. Currently\, Dr. Andrews is interested in how municipalities can encourage the design and construction of Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings. \nFor questions Dr. David Coit (coit@soe.rutgers.edu)\, Dr. Aziz Ezzat (aziz.ezzat@rutgers.edu) or Dr. Elin Wicks (elm52@soe.rutgers.edu)
