Opening lecture. This year we will have the opportunity to listen to Secretary of Environment of the State of Coahuila, Biologist Eglantina Canales, who will talk on the relationships of energy and the environment as well as programs established to save energy in the building hosting multiple offices of the Government of Coahuila.

Keynote address will be given by Dr. Yong X. Tao: “Reducing waste energy consumption by making buildings more energy efficient has been touted as one of low–hanging-fruit solutions towards carbon-neutral energy societies. Yet, despite significant progress in research and technology development, adoptions of energy efficient measures in buildings are still limited. This talk explores a new interdisciplinary area, "Sustainable Human-Building Ecosystem (SHBE)," that integrates human behavioral science, social and economic sciences in tandem with sciences of building design, engineering, and metrology for data validation of building energy consumption and occupant comforts”.

Last year Saltillo finally witnessed the installation of an electric energy generating plant fueled by the methane produced at the municipal solid waste landfill site. Lic. Aristóteles Alvarado, from Lorean Energy Group, the leading company of this energy project, will explain the details of the technology as well as economic-environmental aspects of such an enterprise.

Engineer Marcos Duran Flores, from the Department of Economy, at Coahuila, will explain the challenges Mexico is facing in the transition to using renewable energy, describing different projects and enterprises already running in Coahuila and the country, focused mostly on solar and eolic energy.

On the same venue of obtaining useful energy from the anaerobic digestion of municipal organic waste, Dr. Alfonso Duran, leading expert from UNAM, will go through the science and technology of biomethane synthesis for electricity generation.

Sunlight has been acknowledged as one of the most promising sources of energy and, to take the challenge of moving towards renewable energy, Tech Institute of Saltillo stopped heating its Olympic pool with natural gas and converted into solar energy heating by the year 2011. This conversion was performed by IBG Solar. Ing. Jesús Rodríguez will describe different solar projects performed both at commercial and household levels.

Finally, an expert from the National Electric Commission, Engineer Gerardo Barajas, will shed light on what Mexico is doing in terms of energy efficiency, from little household appliances to regional projects.

Abstract.

Reducing waste energy consumption by making buildings more energy efficient has been touted as one of low–hanging-fruit solutions towards carbon-neutral energy societies. Yet, despite significant progress in research and technology development, adoptions of energy efficient measures in buildings are still limited. This talk explores a new interdisciplinary area, "Sustainable Human-Building Ecosystem (SHBE)," that integrates human behavioral science, social and economic sciences in tandem with sciences of building design, engineering, and metrology for data validation of building energy consumption and occupant comforts. The developed collaboration strategies and standardized data platform could lead to significant reductions of the uncertainty in predicting human adaptation to energy efficiency and sustainability of building ecosystems, which will also address fundamental questions such as "what are the benefits of sustainable building investment to people at a personal, business, or urban planning level?"

Title: Analytics on Sustainable Human Building Ecosystem – A New Approach to Understand Barriers to Energy Efficient Buildings

Speaker: Prof. Yong X. Tao, Ph.D., P.E., FASME

A recently formed SHBE Research Coordination Network (RCN) will be introduced. This RCN aims to foster a new understanding of the complex interactions among the key elements of human-building ecosystems and to work towards a set of new theories for integration of predictive models to explore the following hypothesis: Integrating occupant behaviors with built environment performances validated from large field data sets can lead to significant reductions of the uncertainty in predictive models for human adaptation to energy efficiency and sustainability of building ecosystems. Examples of such modeling work include building physical system and environment modeling; human behavior modeling; social/policy impact modeling; dynamic life cycle assessment (LCA) and business ecosystem modeling; and model integration and validation.

He has received more than 12.8 million dollars of research funding as a single PI or Co-PI in multidisciplinary teamwork projects from various US funding agencies and industries. He was the Associate Editor of the ASME Journal of Science and Engineering Applications and currently serves as the vice chair of Heat Transfer Technical Division of ASME.Since 2005, he has focused on various net-zero energy building demonstration projects including an American House in Beijing, China, during the 2008 Olympics. On July 16th, 2009, Dr. Tao hosted a visit from US Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke and Secretary of Energy Steven Chu in the American House, and was praised by both Secretaries as playing "vital role in building better collaboration between the United States and China in the area of energy-efficient buildings." Recently, he leads a research coordination network (RCN) on predictive modeling of sustainable human building ecosystem (SHBE). Dr. Tao has a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan, and a B.S. and M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Tongji University in Shanghai, China.
