DESCRIPTION:Georgios Mavromatidis\, Chair of Building Physics\, ETH\nAbstr
 act:\nDistributed energy systems (DES) can sustainably transform the energ
 y supply of buildings and districts by incorporating multiple efficient en
 ergy technologies and locally available renewable sources. This talk will 
 focus on the model-based optimal design of DES and will highlight recent r
 esearch developments in the field. First\, the ways that mathematical opti
 misation can assist with the task of optimal DES design will be introduced
 . Then\, approaches to represent the different energy technologies with va
 rying level of detail in optimisation models will be presented. The necess
 ary interactions with other modelling domains\, such as Building Performan
 ce Simulation\, will also be discussed. Additionally\, ways to address cha
 llenges like uncertainty and the computational complexity when extending D
 ES design models at larger scales like the whole city scale will also be p
 resented. Finally\, going beyond modelling\, the talk will conclude by hig
 hlighting insights from real-world projects that have investigated the des
 ign of DES.\n \nBio:\nGeorgios Mavromatidis is a post-doctoral researcher
  at the Chair of Building Physics\, ETH Zurich and he is also affiliated w
 ith the Laboratory for Urban Energy Systems at Empa Dübendorf.  Dr. Mavr
 omatidis received his PhD degree in 2017 from ETH Zurich\, Switzerland and
  his thesis focused on the design of distributed energy systems under unce
 rtainty. Previously\, in 2012\, he obtained an MSc in Sustainable Energy F
 utures from Imperial College London\, UK\, and\, in 2010\, a Diploma in Me
 chanical Engineering from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki\, Greece. H
 is research interests include the optimal design of distributed multi-ener
 gy systems for buildings and districts\, uncertainty in energy system desi
 gn\, and the interactions between building retrofits and upgrades of build
 ing energy systems. Additional information can be found on his personal we
