This proposal requests to continue support of the NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center, the Center for the Built Environment (CBE). CBE was established at the university of California, Berkeley, in 1997 and is dedicated to the industries and professions that design and construct buildings, manufacture building components, and that operate and maintain buildings. Its objective is to improve the performance of buildings by enhancing their indoor environmental quality, and by improving the energy efficiency with which that quality is produced.There are great opportunities to improve the performance of buildings in the U.S. through applied research and development. Improved building design and technologies may reduce energy consumption, improve employee health and productivity, and improve economic competitiveness and domestic security by reducing US dependence on energy imports. CBE builds upon the accomplishments of an extensive group of faculty members that perform building science research at UCB. This group has an impressive record of achievements, both individually and in past joint projects, and maintains extensive and state-of-the-art research tools and facilities. Through collaboration with its industry partners, CBE's research focuses on providing tools and analysis to assist building industry firms and design professionals.

该提案要求NSF工业/大学合作研究中心、建筑环境中心（CBE）继续支持。 CBE于1997年在加州大学伯克利分校成立，致力于设计和建造建筑物、制造建筑构件以及运营和维护建筑物的行业和专业。 它的目标是通过提高室内环境质量和提高能源效率来改善建筑物的性能。在美国，通过应用研究和开发来改善建筑物的性能有很大的机会。 改进建筑设计和技术可以减少能源消耗，改善员工健康和生产力，并通过减少美国对能源进口的依赖来提高经济竞争力和国内安全。 CBE建立在UCB进行建筑科学研究的广泛教职员工的成就之上。 该小组在个人和过去的联合项目中取得了令人印象深刻的成就，并保持了广泛和最先进的研究工具和设施。 通过与行业合作伙伴的合作，CBE的研究重点是提供工具和分析，以协助建筑行业公司和设计专业人士。
