16 April 2018: Beth Massey (IERC) Is there enough data to address the energy trilemma, and if so what are we doing with it? In May 2017, the Economist [1] declared that the world’s most valuable commodity is no longer oil, it is data. Depending on which estimate you subscribe to, the number of connected IoT devices by 2020 ranges from 21 to 31 billion [2] [3]. Even with all these devices in place are we collecting what we really need? Consider the building and built environment where humans live, work and play and the associated energy use in those buildings. Can we use the collected energy data of the building, the occupants and the environment to address the key challenges of the energy trilemma – security of supply, environmental sustainability, and (the social impact) affordable energy. In this work we present examples of how collecting the right data makes a significant difference in analysing the main energy issues relating to not just buildings but people and their environment.

Biography: Beth is Head of Research for the International Energy Research Centre in Cork Ireland where she leads a team of 12 research scientists and engineers performing energy research that translates business needs into research objectives. Beth and her team develop technology enablers that drive innovation for solving society's grand challenges. Beth holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Lincoln (UK) and an MSc in Computer Science from the Florida Institute of Technology (USA). She also has significant experience in project management having completed and delivered on large programs for the US Department of Defence and NASA. Beth is especially interested in progressing women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
