Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for the Built Environment

摘要EEC-9711282 Arens 该奖项提供资金，以支持一个新的NSF工业/大学合作研究中心的建成环境（CBE）在加州大学伯克利分校的运作。 该中心将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。 其目标是通过提高建筑物的室内环境质量和提高产生这种质量的能源效率来改善建筑物的性能。 “质量被广泛地定义为影响居住者舒适、健康或生产力的任何建筑特征。 通过应用研究和开发来改善美国建筑物的性能有很大的机会。 额外的资金是由总务管理局（GSA）在这个奖项，以增加正在进行的研究计划，并获得在该中心的成员。

ABSTRACT EEC-9711282 Arens This award provides funding to support the operation of a new NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for the Built Environment (CBE) at the University of California, Berkeley. The Center will dedicated to the industries and professions that design and construct buildings, manufacture building components, and operate and maintain buildings. Its objective will be to improve the performance of buildings by enhancing their indoor environmental quality, and by improving the energy efficiency with which that quality is produced. "Quality is being broadly defined as any characteristic of the building affecting the comfort, health, or productivity of its occupants. There are great opportunities to improve the performance of US buildings through applied research and development. Additional funding is provided in this award by the General Services Administration (GSA) to augment the ongoing research program and to obtain a membership in the Center.
