<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">This is to make you aware of a new PhD position in our group:
</span><span style="color:#1F497D"><a href="http://jobs.tue.nl/nl/vacature/phd-computational-performance-optimization-of-responsive-buildings-225603.html"><span lang="EN-US">http://jobs.tue.nl/nl/vacature/phd-computational-performance-optimization-of-responsive-buildings-225603.html</span></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">The research will focus on energy-efficient and cost-effective optimization of innovative responsive building elements (RBE); i.e. elements that can change their properties over time, in response
to varying occupant needs, smart grid interaction and weather conditions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">The objective of this PhD research is to develop and test a computational performance assessment framework that can be used to analyze the direct (e.g. energy, emissions, comfort) as well as indirect
performance benefits of buildings with RBE. Using a series of case studies, the application potential of this framework will be demonstrated.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">Outcomes from the case studies will be used to inspire further product/concept development towards high-potential RBE solutions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
