Skills for Tackling Built Environment Challenges

Built environment researchers and analysts love case studies — focusing on one building at a time is generally how much of the consulting-focused industry works. However, generalizability has the been a key focus of analysis and optimization across many other domains including marketing, online retail, cars, and consumer devices. This talk will give Dr. Miller’s perspective on how we can learn from these fields in understanding the concepts of scalability and generalizability of analysis across large numbers of buildings. Dr. Miller will discuss examples of these concepts such as the Great Energy Predictor III Kaggle Competition and the Cozie smartwatch human-building data collection platform. He will also cover the need for built environment professionals to improve their data literacy through coding skills.
