The 4th workshop of GOES project was held from Sep. 25 to Sep. 27, 2024, in Vienna. Soga Research Group remotely present their contribution of integrating the shallow geothermal into the building energy simulation and optimization. Primary works include introducing g-function into mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model and coupling the Modelica building library with Dealii finite element tool. The new centralized energy plant system of UC Berkely campus was used as the case study. The project GOES aims to develop a PBD framework to enable rapid and transferable innovations and implementations of geothermal coupled energy systems.
