And if so, is there any correlation between the cost and embodied energy? This presentation discusses what is required to completely and consistently calculate the embodied energy of a facility. It also summarizes the funded research projects\u0026nbsp;he is involved in, which focus on facility performance assessments (Key Performance Indicators) and Building-integrated Photovoltaic (BiPV) systems.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFurthermore, it outlines a plan for extending this research to the field of facility management and life cycle energy analysis. A Building Information Modeling (BIM) platform (e.g., Revit Architecture) can be used to perform the life cycle energy analysis and facility condition assessment. This plan lists major funding agencies that announce research grants in\u0026nbsp;his field. It also discusses the possibility of interdisciplinary collaboration with the faculty at the School of Building Construction at Georgia Tech.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ELife Cycle Embodied Energy Research: Linking Facility Management to Sustainability\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Life Cycle Embodied Energy Research: Linking Facility Management to Sustainability"}],"uid":"27709","created_gmt":"2013-01-23 15:49:16","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:02:15","author":"Rachel Von Ins","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2013-01-29T10:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2013-01-29T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2013-01-29T11:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2013-01-29 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2013-01-29 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2013-01-29 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"187221":{"id":"187221","type":"image","title":"Manish Dixit","body":null,"created":"1449179090","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:44:50","changed":"1475894828","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:47:08","alt":"Manish Dixit","file":{"fid":"196186","name":"manish_dixit-th.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/manish_dixit-th_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/manish_dixit-th_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":13909,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/manish_dixit-th_0.jpg?itok=hz5LIbu1"}}},"media_ids":["187221"],"groups":[{"id":"1221","name":"College of Design"},{"id":"1223","name":"School of Building Construction"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"926","name":"College of Architecture"},{"id":"167100","name":"school of building construction"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ERachel Von Ins\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:rachel.vonins@coa.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Erachel.vonins@coa.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E404-894-7103\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
