![Green Buildings](../../../assets/images/photos/green_buildings.jpg)
We’re developing technologies and methods to reduce the environmental impacts of buildings and structures. This includes work on:
- High performance, energy-efficient building envelopes
- Advanced methods of building energy use simulation and optimization
- Use and development of sustainable materials
- Development of light-weight, durable structures with increased longevity to reduce environmental burden
- Timber structures
- Innovative condition assessment and repair of existing buildings and structures
