Principal investigator Leo Salemi’s series of sustainable energy projects had to apply commercially available computer technology in order to detect energy onto the Kortright Centre’s Archetype House. Novel algorithms were deployed and developed by Salemi’s team to control and report the buildings heat, lighting, and cooling resources. Salemi’s team also had to conduct further testing of the solar-tracking design and to advance their development of algorithms for energy use and control. With Salemi’s advancements, the Kortright Centre’s solar panels will capture 30-40% more light as a result of Salemi’s applied research.
