In this month?s IBPSA-NYC meet, we?re continuing the conversation on
innovative ways to visualize building performance data.
IBPSA-NYC?s new series of talks titled ?Innovative Ways to Visualize
Building Performance Data? explores an often under discussed topic of
visualizing performance data to tell a good story. Hope you can join us in
this conversation!

Descriptions
Presentation 1
Title: Data Visualization at Urban Scale - NY Energy Consumption Map
Bianca Howard, Ph.D Candidate, Sustainable Engineering Studio, Columbia
University
Bianca?s talk will discuss the methods behind estimating annual building
energy consumption for New York City and the many iterations of visualizing
this information. She will also discuss the analysis for estimating the
potential for Combined Heat and Power at both the building and "microgrid"
scales which illustrates how the building energy consumption estimates were
utilized in her research.
About the Speaker: Bianca Howard is currently a Ph.D. Candidate in
mechanical engineering in the Sustainable Engineering Lab of Professor
Vijay Modi at Columbia University. She is also a trainee in the National
Science Foundation IGERT ?Solving Urbanization Challenges Through Design?.
Her research interests are in energy systems and evaluating various methods
of reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Recently her
work has been focused on the viability of combined heat and power in New
York City as well as estimating emissions reductions from changes in the
electricity load profile at the hourly time scale. The evaluation of
combined heat and power at both the building and microgrid scale has its
foundations in previous works of estimating building energy consumption for
the 5 boroughs.
Ms. Howard received her Bachelor?s of Science in Mechanical Engineering
from the University of Nebraska in 2009 and her Master?s of Science in
Mechanical Engineering from Columbia University in 2011.
Presentation 2
Title: CityEngine - GIS Based Data Visualization for Urban Scale
Developments
Patrick Gahagan, Solutions Engineer, ESRI, New York City
Esri's procedural or rule-based modeling software City Engine allows design
professionals to be creative and still meet sustainability goals. City
Engine delivers a full suite of industry-leading procedural tools to
aggregate geospatial data, layout and edit street networks, generate and
modify buildings, and analyze urban planning projects.
Building Performance Simulation can be achieved in short order using City
Engine and templates that are created by the City Engine team. The Redlands
Redevelopment example is one of these templates and showcases an advanced
set of analytical tools created in response to the growing need for
measurable, performance-based design.
This presentation will provide an introduction to the City Engine
interface, and then focus on some of the eco-criteria and other performance
targets included with the Redlands Redevelopment example. The reports
generated by City Engine on these performance targets provide instant
feedback to the designer, and enables the rapid launch of community design
and implementation strategies.
About the Speaker: Patrick Gahagan is a Solutions Engineer for Esri based
in New York City. For many years he supported clients in NYC government,
but has always kept a specialty in 3D GIS. Patrick now supports clients in
the AEC and general 3D markets just about full time. He was one of the
early internal adopters of City Engine, and has become an unofficial east
coast member of the 3D team at headquarters.
