The design and operation of building systems directly impact energy performance, occupant comfort, and overall human well-being. Our research in this area explores the intersection of advanced building technologies, human-centered design, and environmental quality to create healthier, more efficient, and resilient spaces. By focusing on innovative envelopes, integrated systems, and smart controls, we aim to enhance building performance while prioritizing sustainability, accessibility, and the health of occupants.
