Researcher
Stijn Verbeke
- Research Expertise:Expert on energy performance of buildings regulations and modeling methods, part-time employed at both University of Antwerp and VITO. Developing methodologies and data driven tools for energy renovation and optimized operation of buildings and districts. The reasearch focus is on integrating occupant behavioral aspects and smart technologies in decision support methods for a better design and operation of buildings. A brief selection of research projects include: o "Smart Power" (2017-2018 and 2019-2020) (UAntwerpen) Subcontractor for WTCB, providing dynamic simulation methods and occupancy beheviour models with the aim to achieve better HVAC cacpacity design algorithms for dwellings o "Building Smart Readiness Indicator" (2017-2018 and 2019-2020) (VITO) "Support to the European Commission to develop a smart readiness indicator" Scientific coordinator of first technical support study Overall coordinator of the second technical support study o Ecodistr-ICT (2013-2016)(VITO) "Integrated decision support tool for retrofit and renewal towards sustainable districts" EU FP7 project http://ecodistr-ict.eu/ Role: technical coordinator o STEP-UP (2012-2015)(VITO) "Strategies Towards Energy Performance and Urban Planning" EU FP7 project o Invited speaker at various conferences and events, including Panel leader ECEEE 2019 Summer study, IAE 4E high level workshop “Connected devices for increased demand-side flexibility” - Stockholm – 29 November 2019, Technical programme committee Sustainable places conference: 2014, 2015, 2016
