Research
Professor Xu's main research areas are building HVAC systems design, building system commissioning, energy retrofitting, building system control and monitoring, and building energy simulation. During his tenure as chairman of the ASHRAE Smart Building System Technical Committee, Xu Peng hosted a research project on communication control between buildings and smart grid interfaces. He organized and led a research project on building demand response control by a number of universities, including Purdue University and the University of California at Berkeley. He also developed a software that calculates the thermal inertia of building dynamics and estimate building demand response potentials. With the support of the U.S. National Natural Science Foundation, he developed a building control virtual system to optimize system fault diagnosis and control. After returning to Tongji University, Xu Peng was responsible for several research projects sponsored by the Ministry of Construction and the Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission, in the area of building demand response control, next generation building simulation methods, and automated HVAC design.
