BEAM: Building Energy Analysis and Monitoring

This project aims to improve energy efficiency and conservation in commercial buildings through statistical modeling and data analysis. Computer software will be developed which can predict future building energy consumption, and assist in diagnosing misconfigured equipment and recommending ways to save energy within buildings. This project is joint work between Pulse Energy, a Vancouver-based company which helps customers better understand and manage their energy consumption, and the Information Systems and Science for Energy (ISS4E) research laboratory at the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science, located at the University of Waterloo. This project will expand Pulse Energy’s advanced energy analytics portfolio with new, state-of-the-art statistical techniques developed specifically for use with Pulse customers.
