Through this planning visit, Prof. Alice Agogino of the University of California-Berkeley will initiate cooperative research with Danish partners to further our understanding of human-centered, community assessment of renewable energy and sustainability, with an emphasis on smart products and Smart Grid use. Her counterpart, Prof. Ulrik Jorgensen and colleagues at the Technical University of Denmark, in Copenhagen, have established expertise in engineering education and user involvement in design and innovation, thereby complementing the U.C.-Berkeley team's strengths in energy and sustainable technologies. Together their goal is to refine plans for a longer-term U.S.-Danish research partnership aimed at integrating sustainable technologies (buildings, products, and systems) with demand response and the Smart Grid. If successful, the resulting collaboration should lead to a larger interdisciplinary research effort focused on sustainable product innovation using embedded, distributed sensor networks; data and sensor validation and fusion; and environmental machine monitoring to promote energy conservation. Participating U.S. graduate students will gain valuable early career exposure to an international professional network that should yield opportunities for expanding their own research as future faculty.Professors Agogino and Jorgensen also plan to integrate research on the role that curricula and pedagogy play in improving our basic understanding of how to reduce environmental impact through sustainable design. The US-Danish team will pursue this by building on lessons learned from Demark's Smart Grid implementations to collect case studies, sustainable design methods, and curricula for dissemination. This will be done through an online portal called "TheDesignExchange." Their objective is to facilitate the capture, analysis and use of research results via a large, virtual public library of proven tools for use by educators and practitioners. The cooperating research partners maintain that giving consumers, governments and corporations access to the latest data, models, and solutions has the potential broader impact of accelerating wider adoption of sustainable solutions that enable communities to reduce unwanted environmental impacts associated with human activities.

通过这次规划访问，加州大学伯克利分校的Alice Agogino教授将与丹麦合作伙伴开展合作研究，以进一步了解以人为本的可再生能源和可持续性社区评估，重点是智能产品和智能电网的使用。 她的同行，Ulrik Jorgensen教授和他在哥本哈根丹麦技术大学的同事，已经建立了工程教育和用户参与设计和创新的专业知识，从而补充了U.C.-伯克利团队在能源和可持续技术方面的优势。 他们的目标是共同完善美国的长期计划，丹麦研究伙伴关系，旨在将可持续技术（建筑物，产品和系统）与需求响应和智能电网相结合。 如果成功，由此产生的合作将导致更大的跨学科研究工作，重点是使用嵌入式分布式传感器网络的可持续产品创新;数据和传感器验证和融合;以及环境机器监测，以促进节能。 参与的美国研究生将获得宝贵的职业生涯早期接触到一个国际专业网络，应该产生机会，扩大自己的研究作为未来的教师。教授Agogino和Jorgensen还计划整合的作用，课程和教学法在提高我们的基本理解如何减少环境影响，通过可持续设计的研究。 美国-丹麦团队将通过从丹麦智能电网实施中吸取的经验教训来收集案例研究、可持续设计方法和课程以供传播。 这将通过一个名为“TheDesignExchange”的在线门户网站完成。" 他们的目标是通过一个大型的虚拟公共图书馆，为教育工作者和从业人员提供经验证的工具，从而促进研究成果的获取、分析和使用。 合作研究伙伴认为，让消费者、政府和企业获得最新的数据、模型和解决方案，可能会产生更广泛的影响，加速可持续解决方案的广泛采用，使社区能够减少与人类活动相关的不必要的环境影响。
