PhD scholarship in Scalable LLM-driven Semantic Digital Twins for Building Energy Modelling - DTU Construct

Job description

In collaboration with Chalmers University of Technology (Chalmers), the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) offers a new PhD position, “ Scalable LLM-driven Semantic Digital Twins for Building Energy Modelling ”. The PhD candidate will be supervised by supervisors from DTU and Chalmers. This project will integrate energy technology, building physics, HVAC systems, control systems architecture, semantic web technologies, advancing all the above disciplines. The increasing availability of operational data and digital building information offers new opportunities for advancing building energy modeling beyond traditional case-by-case approaches. There is a growing need for modeling frameworks that can combine physical understanding with data-driven methods to support a wide range of energy system applications. Grid-interactive efficient buildings rely on emerging digital and cyber-physical systems to optimize HVAC operations for both energy efficiency and demand response. While Model Predictive Control (MPC) and Reinforcement Learning (RL) have proven effective in isolated studies, their widespread deployment is hindered by the lack of interoperability, the high cost of model creatio...
