DYNASTEE Building Physics Spring School & the European Building Performance Symposium – 24-28 April 2023, University of Salford, Manchester, UK
The DYNASTEE Building Performance Measurement Spring School will take place over four days (24th -27th of April 2023), and will be held at the University of Salford, Manchester, UK.
You are requested to pre-register a.s.a.p. since a few places are left, but before 15 March. Please contact María-José Jiménez (MJ), CIEMAT-PSA, Spain by e-mail: mjose.jimenez@psa.es Information about accommodation and payment of the Spring School participation fee will be made available after pre-registration.
The training event will be a condensed format of the Summer School, which has been organised for over a decade and which has attracted over 200 participants. Lectures will cover important aspects of dynamic data analysis applied to real data from in-situ measurements and energy metering for the energy performance assessment of buildings. About half of the time will be devoted to lectures and the other half to practical exercises using real data and available tools. This event will be suitable for industrial researchers, engineers, PhD students and other specialists in this area.
The program over four days will contain about 12 lectures, covering about half of the available time. See below for more details. Five lecturers will present several aspects of dynamic mathematical techniques for the analysis of data that represents the thermal behaviour of buildings. Discussed will be discrete time as well as continuous time models and methods. The remaining 50% of the time is scheduled for exercises that the participants may devote to work with the software and experimental data that will be presented. The software tool LORD (Windows) will be distributed and CTSM-R can be downloaded also. Application examples of the distributed data will be discussed.

At the end of that week, we will also host the first European Building Performance Symposium on the 28th April 2023. This event will be organised by the University of Salford and the DYNASTEE network. Registration is obligatory; go to www.eventbrite.co.uk and search for DYNASTEE. The symposium will bring together research from Industry and Academia providing discussion and information on developing and innovate building performance measurement and what the DYNASTEE network can offer to them. In return, the network would like to get informed by these parties what their needs are.
