The objective of this EFRI-SEED project is to produce transformative science with unforeseen opportunities for the design of next-generation sustainable building technologies, as well as, of micro optics and fluids networks innovation. SOAP GRIT Building Control will constitute the first building system for greywater disinfection coupled with thermal storage and energy management from solar energy. The researchers aim to establish new technologies for selection of light and heat flow transmission/conduction based on microoptics that can supplant current research developments that deploy thicker, heavier and often pricey mechanical lens systems. By integrating advances in biologically-inspired photonics and optofluidics technologies from bioengineering for light control and waste processing at microscale into buildings systems, new thresholds of water and energy expenditure reduction and management can be accomplished. Likewise, the knowledge obtained from SOAP GRIT Building Control will provide the civil and bioengineering community with valuable performance criteria of micro-optics based technology for integrating thermal control and disinfection derived from solar energy. The interdisciplinary nature of this research will contribute to widen the scope of beneficiaries while demonstrating that new interdisciplinary collaborations for sustainable architecture models can accelerate the development of energy efficient building technologies through unconsidered scales of action. The successful completion of this research will stimulate a number of studies of energy efficient integrated building systems nation-wide. This research will contribute to develop courses for the new minor in biomimicry/sustainable architecture at UC Berkeley's architecture undergraduate program. The topic of next-generation sustainable architecture is attractive to younger students and underrepresented minorities, including K12, which will be involved in this proposal through a summer program in collaboration with architect Tom McKeag, director of BioDreamMachine, a California non-profit educational institution dedicated to bringing the benefits of bio-inspired design to K12 public education.The FY 2010 EFRI-SEED Topic that supports this project was sponsored by the US National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorates for Engineering (ENG), Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) and Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE), and Computer & Information Science and Engineering in collaboration with the US Department of Energy (DOE) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

EFRI-SEED项目的目标是为下一代可持续建筑技术的设计以及微光学和流体网络创新提供不可预见的机会。SOAP GRIT Building Control将构成第一个用于灰水消毒并结合太阳能储热和能源管理的建筑系统。研究人员的目标是建立基于微光学的光和热流传输/传导选择的新技术，这些技术可以取代目前部署更厚、更重且通常昂贵的机械透镜系统的研究开发。通过将生物启发的光子学和光流体技术的进步从生物工程中用于微尺度的光控制和废物处理整合到建筑系统中，可以实现水和能源支出减少和管理的新阈值。同样，从SOAP GRIT建筑控制中获得的知识将为土木和生物工程界提供基于微光学技术的有价值的性能标准，用于集成来自太阳能的热控制和消毒。这项研究的跨学科性质将有助于扩大受益者的范围，同时证明可持续建筑模式的新跨学科合作可以通过未经考虑的行动规模加速节能建筑技术的发展。这项研究的成功完成将促进全国范围内对节能综合建筑系统的研究。这项研究将有助于开发课程的仿生/可持续建筑在加州大学伯克利分校的建筑本科课程的新的未成年人。下一代可持续建筑的主题对年轻学生和代表性不足的少数民族具有吸引力，包括K12，K12将通过与BioDreamMachine主任、建筑师Tom McKeag合作的暑期项目参与这项提案。一家加州非营利教育机构，致力于将生物启发设计的好处带入K12公共教育。2010财年EFRI-支持该项目的种子主题由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）工程（ENG），数学和物理科学（MPS）和社会，行为和经济科学（SBE）以及计算机&信息科学与工程部门与美国能源部（DOE）和美国环境保护署（EPA）合作赞助。
