GBU Coffee Chat: Understanding Building Performance—Research Insights

Join us for a casual virtual coffee chat featuring Adithi Garood, a University of Pennsylvania architecture student, who will share the research she conducted during her fellowship this summer. She will discuss the process of developing a research hypothesis, gathering building data, modeling different scenarios, establishing occupancy schedules, and analyzing results to identify meaningful conclusions. During the conversation, you can expect to:

• Get an introduction to building systems terminology and the types of actions involved in BEPP
• See insights into how effective these actions can be in reducing utility costs and improving occupant comfort
• Compare performance trends between school buildings that have received BEPP tune-ups and those that have not
• Have time for a Q&A with Adithi and GBU’s BEPP program lead!
