📢 Prof. Dr. Matthias Haase from the ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences, represented PEDvolution at the BauSIM conference, organised by Vienna University of Technology (also partner in the PEDvolution consortium) between 23rd & 27th of September 2024 in Vienna. 🏙️ Among the topics of interest, this year the conference focused on #Energy-#efficient #building and #district #modelling (including i. District, building and facility simulation ii. Renewable and decentralized energy systems, iii. Communication of building technology and iv. Energy supply infrastructure), as well as Monitoring of Buildings and Neighborhoods. 🤝 During the presentation entitled “Accommodating the constant Evolution of PEDs“ PEDvolution’s overall scope, objectives and expected outcomes of this ambitious project were presented. 💡 Apart from disseminating the project itself and discussing its progress with highly experienced experts, our participation aimed at further cultivating relationships with field experts and researchers who may be interested in becoming involved in the project’s overall development, as well as with those who could potentially benefit from the project results in the future.
