TSYS School computer scientist Yesem Kurt Peker has extended her research program examining fault detection in smart buildings with a new study in IEEE Access that leverages machine learning techniques to predict and classify faults in energy consumption, thus providing actionable insights to proactively mitigate them. In this study, Peker, her TSYS School students Shashank Sekhara , Akshith Nukala and McAndrew Okwei , and her colleagues from Mohammed VI Polytechnic University and US Ignite, Inc., propose a data engineering and machine learning framework deployed in the cloud to predict energy consumption across multiple building types. Their dataset includes hourly energy consumption, weather conditions and occupancy data, and results from outlier/fault detection to model prediction provide a detailed comparative analysis on methodologies for implementing a scalable and efficient framework for buildings’ energy man...
CSU President Stuart Rayfield recently informed the CSU community that the CSU Foundation Trustees have officially voted for the University to enter the leadership (quiet) phase of a comprehensive fundraising campaign, and that the CSU administration is currently developing funding priorities that align directly with CSU's strategic plan. The current plan is that in 2028, following investments by CSU's leadership donors, CSU will publicly announce its campaign goal of raising $125 million by 2030. "This campaign will focus on positioning the university’s role in the future of Columbus, the evolving workforce our students will enter, and the technologies and innovations CSU must master to remain competitive and relevant. This is a significant step forward and a powerful vote of confidence by the CSU Foundation in the trajectory of our institution," Rayfield noted. Seeking to raise $100 million, the last campaign occurred several years ago and culminated with a $5 mill...
