The Project Is Being Tested at Various Sites
MADISON, Wis. — A research group led by Jim Rawlings, the Paul A. Elfers professor, and W. Harmon Ray, professor of chemical and biological engineering, University of Wisconsin-Madison, has partnered with Johnson Controls to develop better HVAC control systems for large commercial buildings.
“Twenty percent of total U.S. energy consumption is commercial buildings,” said Rawlings. “And half of that is education and office spaces.”
