US-CHINA WORKSHOP FOR CYBER-ENABLED, USER-ORIENTED, INTEROPERABILITY MODELING FOR ENGINEERING SUSTAINABLE BUILT ENVIRONMENTS, Beijing, Summer of 2012

（1207807-TAO）该研讨会将于2012年夏季在北京清华大学举行。它由一个由美国和中国研究人员组成的指导委员会组织。研讨会的目的是制定一个研究议程，重点是工程，软件和社会科学的瓶颈，形成阻碍净零能源（NZE）建筑技术更广泛应用的关键问题的联系。特别是，研究议程将侧重于研究的需求，以开发一个平台，允许多学科，合作研究成果共享，使网络启用，建设面向用户，互操作性建模方法可以实施。来自美国和中国的现有研发计划和最佳实践的成就为两国下一代能源工程研究人员之间的强大未来合作奠定了基础，这两个国家是全球范围内最大的能源消费国和二氧化碳排放国。虽然新的建筑产品级技术的确定和开发可能是研究议程的结果，但重点将是基础科学知识，这将促进系统集成和普遍（即跨学科和跨国界）的可比性，这是一个相互的挑战。具体目标包括，但不限于，开发基于物理的能源效率标准的普遍可比性，量化零净能源建筑的能源，健康和环境效益，以及量化用户-建筑相互作用对零能源建筑性能的影响。研讨会将包括参观中国的合作研究基地，进行广泛的讨论，并为美国学生提供充足的时间来熟悉中国同行的独特观点并参与研究规划。 预计研讨会的成果将为更广泛的研究和工业界提供关键问题和挑战，以便在多个层面（单个PI、多个PI、多个机构和学术/工业/私人合作）做出必要的努力，在全球范围内实现可再生能源和替代能源在建筑部门的更广泛渗透。结果可能有助于通知主要研究人员在NSF？的绿色建筑组合，为解决全球网络支持的合作和数据共享模式提供背景。最后，研讨会将作为美国的一个发射台-中国净零能耗研究网络，研讨会产生的许多研究想法将在该网络中得到贯彻，并将制定和执行更实质性的合作研究议程。

(1207807-TAO) This workshop will be held at Tsinghua University in Beijing during the summer of 2012. It is being organized by a steering committee composed of researchers from both the US and China. The purpose of the workshop is to develop a research agenda centered on bottlenecks in engineering, software and social sciences, forming a nexus of critical issues impeding wider application of net-zeroenergy (NZE) building technology. In particular, the research agenda will focus on the needs for research in order to develop a platform that allows multi-disciplinary, collaborative research results to be shared so that a cyber-enabled, building user-oriented, interoperability modeling approach can be implemented. Achievements from the existing research and development initiatives and best-practices from the U.S. and China provide a foundation for robust future collaboration among the next generation of energy engineering researchers from both countries as the top energy consumers and CO2 emitters on the global scale. While the identification and development of new building product-level technology may result from the research agenda, the focus will be on fundamental scientific knowledge that will foster system integration and universal (meaning cross-discipline and cross-country boundaries) comparability, a mutual challenge. Specific objectives include, but are not limited to, developing physics-based universal comparability of energy efficiency criteria, quantification of energy, health and environmental benefits for zero-net-energy buildings, and quantification of impact of user-building interaction on the zero-energy building performance. The workshop will include visits to partner research sites in China, extensive discussion and ample time for U.S. students to become familiar with unique perspectives of Chinese counterparts and to participate in research planning. It is expected that the results of the workshop will provide the broader research and industrial community with key issues and challenges for needed efforts at multiple levels (individual PIs, multiple PIs, multiple institutions and academic/industrial/private collaborations) for achieving wider penetration of renewable and alternative energy in building sectors at a global scale. Results may serve to inform principal investigators in NSF?s green building portfolio by providing context for addressing a global cyber-enabled model for cooperation and data sharing. Finally, the workshop will serve as a launching pad for a U.S.-China net-zero-energy research network, where many of the research ideas resulting from the workshop will be followed through and more substantial collaborative research agendas will be developed and executed.
