      - Godfried Augenbroe, Georgia Institute of Technology
         - *The role of uncertainty in building performance analysis*

Professor Augenbroe will briefly discuss the state of the art in
uncertainty analysis of building energy models. He will argue that while
there is an abundance of methods, there is a lack of convincing application
cases. He will support this argument by showing that while uncertainty
analysis has gone mainstream and does not need special skills, the
significance of its outcomes is minimal unless shown to change real life
decision scenarios. The argument is supported by discussing real
applications.
