Prof. Thierry S. Nouidui is a former Principal at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). At LBNL, he was working in the Simulation Research Group and developing the next generation of computational tools for the design and operation of low Energy Buildings. Prof. Nouidui is currently an Associate Professor and the Head of the Computer Engineering and IT Department at the United African University of Tanzania.

Prof. Nouidui and the Nouidui Consulting Group have significant experiences with the following projects:

  1. Spawn of EnergyPlus: The Spawn of EnergyPlus, called SOEP, is a next-generation simulation engine, for building and control energy systems. Information about the project can be found at https://lbl-srg.github.io/soep/
  2. The Buildings Control Virtual Test Bed (BCVTB): The Building Controls Virtual Test Bed is a software environment that allows users to couple different simulation programs for co-simulation, and to couple simulation programs with actual hardware. Information about the project can be found at https://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/bcvtb
  3. Modelica Buildings Library: The Modelica Buildings library is a free open-source library with dynamic simulation models for building and district energy and control systems. Information about the project can be found at https://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/modelica/
  4. EnergyPlusToFMU: EnergyPlusToFMU is a software package written in Python which allows users to export the building simulation program EnergyPlus as a Functional Mock-up Unit (FMU). Information about the project can be found at https://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/projects/energyplustofmu
  5. SimulatorToFMU: SimulatorToFMU is a software package written in Python which allows users to export a Python-driven simulation program or a Python script as a Functional Mock-up Unit. Information about the project can be found at https://github.com/LBNL-ETA/SimulatorToFMU.
