  Mr. Hong is a Senior Scientist and Principal Investigator with the Building Technology and Urban Systems Division of the US DOE Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He established and leads the Urban Systems Group (UrbanSystems.lbl.gov). Before joining LBNL, he worked for Architectural Energy Corporation (now Noresco) in San Francisco, Supersymmetry in Singapore, National University of Singapore, and Tsinghua University, China. Mr. Hong has more than 28 years of industry and academic experience in building energy efficiency, building energy standards, building performance simulation, urban systems, and occupant behavior in buildings. He is a key member of the team that developed building energy code and standards for California, ASHRAE, and India. He was the chief developer and product manager of VisualDOE version 4.0 – a comprehensive user interface to DOE-2.1E. He was the founding developer of DeST (former BTP) – a building simulation program used in China. He leads the EnergyPlus development at LBNL. He developed new and enhanced modeling capabilities of EnergyPlus and carried research to improve the usability of EnergyPlus for adoption in California Title 24 energy code. He leads the development of two building energy software which won two R&D 100 Awards (CBES in 2019 and CityBES in 2022). CityBES is an open data and computing platform for city buildings, energy, and sustainability. Mr. Hong is an editor of Energy and Buildings, an IBPSA Fellow, an ASHRAE Fellow, a Highly Cited Researcher, and was a member of IBPSA-USA board of directors and panel leader of ACEEE Summer Study conferences. Mr. Hong contributed to the International Energy Agency's research programs (Annex 21, 53, 66, 79, and 81). He led IEA EBC Annex 66, focusing on describing and modeling behaviors of building occupants to study their impacts on building energy performance and support the design and operation of buildings. More information on Annex 66 and his behavior research is available at annex66.org and behavior.lbl.gov.
