Better understand building impacts to energy use

Parichehr Salimifard’s project, Co-benefits of the Built Environment, improves human health and sustainability through buildings.

Part of our mission is to be an economic engine for the state and to be responsive to the needs of the building industry. The addition of architectural engineering dramatically expands our capacity to do that.
