Will the Measurement Robots Take Our Jobs? An Update on the State of Automated M&V for Energy Efficiency Programs
Trustworthy savings calculations are critical to convincing regulators of both the costeffectiveness of energy efficiency program investments and their ability to defer supply-side capital investments. Today’s methods for measurement and verification (M&V) of energy savings constitute a significant portion of the total costs of energy efficiency programs. They also require time-consuming data a...

Abstract In this paper we make the case for slowness in search. The main tenet of information seeking today is retrieving the right result rapidly. Developments such as instant search, question answering, and fact sheets strive to further...
متن کاملGeoengineering: taking control of our planet's climate?
There is international consensus that 'dangerous' climate change must be avoided. Yet without radical changes in energy sources and usage and global economies, changes that so far society has been unable or unwilling to make, it seems highly likely that we will start to experience unacceptably damaging and/or societally disruptive global environmental change later this century. What actions can...
متن کاملHelpful Robots are Clever Robots
We developed a system to obtain a robot able to learn to emulate the strategies used by a human facing a problemsolving task. We have been able to solve this problem within a particular setting in which the human behaviour can be interpreted as time series of ‘observables’ of his/her problemsolving strategy. Our solution encompasses the solution of yet another problem, namely how to close a loo...
متن کاملEvolutionary Robots: Our Hands In Their Brains?
The study of learning and evolutionary adaptation has yet to provide a theory which is suuciently detailed to enable the construction of even the most primitive synthetic animal. I argue that this is so for three reasons. First, unlike other scientiic elds, such as theoretical physics, there is no universally accepted paradigmatic approach to the study of the brain. Second, there are certain fu...
