Abstract: Buildings have excellent energy-saving and power optimization potential. In addition, they are critical shelters for people during climate disasters with increasing intensity, frequency, and duration. Thus, an essential and urgent research topic is improving buildings' sustainability and resilience at various geographical scales. Modeling is an efficient way to address fundamental research questions for this research topic. However, modeling a building is challenging since it is a complex cyber-physical system. When a study is conducted at a large geographic scale, modeling becomes interdisciplinary and needs deep collaborations with various domain experts. To conquer these challenges, this talk will introduce innovative, scalable modeling solutions for sustainable and resilient buildings. I will summarize my past and current related research, which integrates building science, construction engineering, systems and controls, modeling and computational techniques, and artificial intelligence. My research goal is to fill the gap between proof-of-concept research and practical applications toward multi-scale sustainable and resilient buildings. Examples will introduce the innovations and challenges of modeling.....
