Whole building energy performance assessment. From in-situ measurements to smart metering data.

After nine Summer/Spring Schools and two training Webinars, DYNASTEE is proud to announce that for the 10^th time it will organise a physical Summer School in 2024. More than 190 PhD students and researchers have participated in the nine preceding physical Summer/Spring Schools and their enthusiastic response has made us decide to continue organising this dedicated course.

Course Schedule: the course will be 6 days with 3 days – weekend – 3 days. The aim of the Summer School is to train the participants on the application of analysis techniques towards whole building analysis from in-situ measurements and metering data. New is the introduction course on metering data and a dedicated exercise by applying statistical analysis methods to metering data. Three days will be devoted to linear regression and discrete time methods by applying the user friendly software tool LORD. After the weekend, 3 days will be devoted to continuous time methods to like CTSM-R and applied to high quality real data. The course concept will remain the same as in previous years, which means about half of the time is devoted to lectures and the other half to performing exercises using benchmark data. This schedule leaves a weekend between the first and second parts of the course that the participants can use to dig into the training material or just to have a rest. A social event will be organised during the break.

Dates: 11 – 18 September 2024. Note that the Summer School will end on Wednesday 18 September at 17:00.

Venue: CIESOL at the University of Almería, Spain. Almería can be reached in different ways. The most common travelling option is to fly to Madrid or Barcelona and then to change for Almería. It is also possible to fly to Malaga or Granada and then take a bus to Almeria.

Fee: The fee covers presentations and data of the lectures and relevant papers, lunches and coffee breaks during the lectures, a joint dinner and participation to the social event during the weekend. Details of the announcement including the participation fee will be announced soon on the DYNASTEE website.
