Second Workshop in the framework of the project PRIN 2022 MUR - UTMOST FDD
On 18/01/2024 prof. Jin Wen from Drexel University will give a talk titled "Harnessing data and AI for Fault Detection and Diagnosis in Smart Buildings" at Politecnico di Torino. The event is hosted by BAEDA Lab within a workshop organized in the framework of the PRIN 2022 MUR - UTMOST FDD. The workshop is aimed at discussing how faults in sensors, devices, and control strategies affect building performance and occupant well being While traditional rule based FDD methods dominate current commercial tools, data driven approaches using machine learning and AI offer greater accuracy and autonomy with less reliance on expert knowledge The seminar presents state of the art ML/AI based FDD techniques, addresses real world implementation challenges.
Speaker Bio:
Prof. Jin Wen is currently the Interim Vice Dean for Research, Innovation, and Faculty Advancement of the College of Engineering, and a Professor in the Department of Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering at Drexel University. She will start to serve as the Department Head for Penn State University’s Architectural Engineering Department in August 2025. She is a Fellow of American Society of Heating Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and currently the Rising Chair of ASHRAE’s Research Administration Committee (RAC), which oversees and coordinates all ASHRAE research activities. She is the Task Leader for International Energy Agency (IEA)’s Energy in Buildings and Communities (EBC) Annex 81 (Data-Driven Smart Buildings) Task C (Applications). Dr. Wen was selected as the U.S. Fulbright Scholar for 2019-2020 (Sweden). Dr. Wen has more than twenty-years experiences in the smart building field, firstly as an application engineer working for Johnson Controls Inc. and later as a researcher in the areas of automated fault detection and diagnosis, building-to-grid integration, model predictive control, regional energy modeling, and occupant behavior simulation. Her work has been funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Institute of Standard Technology, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Homeland Security, and ASHRAE. She has published 70+ journal papers and has 5800+ citation (Google Scholar).
