Welcome to UCF Smart Infrastructure Data Analytics Lab!

Smart Infrastructure Data Analytics Lab (SIDAL), directed by Dr. Qun Zhou, is a research laboratory at University of Central Florida.

We are a group of researchers passionate about solving challenges in the energy field, from the grid to buildings. We focus on grid edge components including HVAC, solar panels, and batteries.

We are devoted to improving energy efficiency, building intelligence, and customer engagement, through advanced data analytics, probabilistic modeling, and optimization schemes.

We believe that the future of energy is on individual consumers. Together, we are making a greener, stronger, and smarter energy future!
