Impact Project spotlight |
|
Design and operation of net-zero smart resilient buildings This project, led by Andreas Athienitis, addresses the need to better integrate renewable energy systems, storage solutions, and smart grid interactions—while also optimizing design and operation in both new builds and retrofits. Transforming built and urban microclimates Led by Liangzhu Leon Wang, this project unites experts in engineering, AI, climate science, psychology, and Indigenous housing to reimagine how cities prepare for and withstand climate shocks—while reducing emissions and promoting equity. |
