The purpose of this Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program grant is to advance knowledge about the impact of human-building interactions on energy use, and to explore intelligent, collaborative, and personalized approaches that connect built environments with their users to increase energy efficiency and awareness. Taxonomies of types, features, and patterns of human-building interactions will be developed, based on high-resolution building and human related data. The impact of human-building interactions on energy use and comfort will be quantitatively described using a simulation environment that incorporates multiple simulations and modeling technologies. The research will build on the concept of heterogeneous teamwork between building members and their users, through the use of computer agents that represent and interact with these building systems and their users. A model, capable of learning user preferences for automation, will be employed. A diverse set of communication strategies and styles will be evaluated through human subject experiments that address actions influencing energy and comfort, and increase the trust between humans and the built environment.If successful, the research will advance the understanding about the impact of human-building interactions on energy, and transform built environments into attentive and self-learning entities that adapt to user preferences of energy conservation. User-related information will be incorporated into building operations thus allowing for proactive accommodation of user needs. Knowledge of human-building interactions will support engineering design and management activities, and foster the evolution of built environments as eco-systems. To increase public engagement, energy related workshops will be organized bringing together parents, teachers and K-12 students to build hands on engineering projects. High school female students will develop computer applications related to energy conservation, attracting them to engineering and technology fields. The work will engage underrepresented students and develop new materials, modules, courses, test beds for research and education.

这项教师早期职业发展（职业）计划的目的是提高有关人类建设互动对能源使用的影响的知识，并探索将建筑环境与用户联系起来以提高能源效率和意识的智能，协作和个性化的方法。基于高分辨率建设和人类相关数据，将开发人类互动类型，特征和模式的分类学。人类建设相互作用对能源使用和舒适度的影响将使用包含多个模拟和建模技术的模拟环境进行定量描述。这项研究将建立在建筑成员与其用户之间异质团队合作的概念上，通过使用代表这些建筑系统及其用户的计算机代理。将采用能够学习自动化用户偏好的模型。将通过人类主题实验来评估各种各样的沟通策略和样式，以解决影响能量和舒适度的行动，并增加人类与建筑环境之间的信任。如果成功，该研究将提高人们对能源对能源的影响的理解，并将建筑环境转化为适应能源偏好的专心和自我学习实体，以适应能源偏好。与用户相关的信息将纳入建筑操作中，从而可以主动适应用户需求。对人类互动的了解将支持工程设计和管理活动，并促进建筑环境作为生态系统的发展。为了增加公众参与，将组织与能源相关的研讨会，将父母，老师和K-12学生召集在一起，以建立工程项目。高中女学生将开发与节能相关的计算机应用，并将其吸引到工程和技术领域。这项工作将吸引代表性不足的学生，并开发新材料，模块，课程，测试床进行研究和教育。
