Mission and Vision Towards Society
Our mission is to design, construct, and manage sustainable and resilient built environments for decarbonization. Our research is grounded in three areas 1) connections between buildings and other infrastructure networks for resilient urban environments, 2) transformations of building and infrastructure planning and design for energy security and efficiency as well as human comfort, and 3) applications of technological advancements for process innovations and economic benefits.
