Senate approved the new CZEBS

Based on the recent successes by SBRN and SNEBRN research initiatives which resulted in about $14 M of funding flowing through Concordia (2005-2016), and the long history of the CBS, the University has approved in January 2012 the creation of a new research unit – CZEBS. The Centre for Zero Energy Building Studies (CZEBS) is founded by Drs. Athienitis, Fazio, Stathopoulos and Zmeureanu. Senate approved the new Centre. The centre forms a node of NSERC Smart Net-zero Energy Buildings Strategic Research Network (SNEBRN), led by Dr. Athienitis and funded by NSERC by about $5M, for 2011-2016, in addition to $2M from partners.
