BOPTEST webinar series
We are excited to host the BOPTEST webinar series! These sessions highlight the latest research and industry applications of BOPTEST and provide a platform for the community to share insights, address common challenges and explore innovative uses of the tool.
Webinar Format: Each session features two speakers, one from academia and one from industry, each presenting for 20 minutes, followed by a 10-minute Q&A.
Webinar 3: Grid-interactive buildings
Date and time: March 26, 2025 - 15:00 UTC
Presentations:
Flavia de Andrade Pereira (University College London) will explore how demand flexibility controls can be made generalisable and portable across BOPTEST test cases and real-world buildings.
Lucas Bex (KU Leuven) will discuss simulation-based testing of control strategies for districts, introducing Yards, a simulation framework based on DOPTEST.
Webinar 2: BOPTEST in action
Date and time: January 29, 2025 - 14:00 UTC
Presentations:
Yuan Gao (Kyushu University) demonstrates how BOPTEST can be integrated into studies on model predictive control and reinforcement learning.
Robert Lastinger & Aaron Fish (Distech Controls) explain how Distech is integrating BOPTEST into its applications testing and customer training programs and demonstrate how they have built open-source tooling to use their hardware to monitor and control BOPTEST testcases.
Webinar 1: From parameter optimization to emulator development for improved building control modelling with BOPTEST
Date and time: November 27, 2024 - 09:00 UTC
Presentations:
Parastoo Mohebi (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) compares different parameter identification techniques for optimal control of building energy systems.
Dr. Iago Cupeiro Figueroa (Cupeiro Solucións Intelixentes de Enerxía) introduces the “multizone_office_simple_hydronic” emulator, a new BOPTEST model designed to address gaps in existing emulators when compared with real buildings.
