PREDICT - PRedicting Energy using Dynamic Indicators in a Calibrated Tool Development of an adaptive in-use factor tool to reduce the energy performance gap in buildings	PREDICT addresses the building energy performance gap through the creation of an adaptive in-use factor (IUF) tool to predict occupied building energy use. Parameters of various defined influence are applied alongside building and energy system information to account for multiple occupancy and in-use cases. This project will use large datasets from SEAI projects to define and validate the IUF based on monitored data, surveys, interviews, and calibrated physics models. The large database, consolidated and added to during the project, will also be made publicly available, to facilitate the expedition of future building stock and energy policy research in Ireland.	2024-2027	Mechanical Engineering	Dr. Ciara Ahern and Dr. Aimee Byrne	University of Galway, IERC/Tyndall, IES RD&D	PI	SEAI RD&D
