March: Community‑Driven Innovation for Smart, Efficient Buildings
Join EARTH* for an exclusive presentation featuring Dr. Huijeong Kim, Assistant Professor of Civil, Environmental & Architectural Engineering at the University of Kansas. A rising expert in smart building systems and clean energy innovation, Dr. Kim brings a multidisciplinary perspective on integrating technology, human behavior, and community engagement to advance resilient, energy‑efficient buildings.
In this talk, researchers, students, and industry professionals will benefit from learning:
- How behavioral interventions and socio‑technical design shape energy‑efficient, grid‑interactive communities
- Insights from field‑tested smart home energy management systems and eco‑feedback platforms
- How social‑gaming tools encourage thermostat‑adjustment and energy‑saving behaviors
- Practical approaches for designing energy programs that account for diverse occupant behavior
- How community‑driven circular energy storage systems are co‑designed with stakeholders
Don’t miss this opportunity to explore how community‑centered innovation can advance smart, sustainable, and grid‑interactive building systems. Bring your questions for our live Q&A!
