Harvard Center for Green Buildings and Cities Unveils First-of-its-Kind HouseZero Lab & Prototype - Seite 3

As a living lab, the Center's researchers are afforded inspiring surroundings that they themselves will be able to control and adapt. With time, the CGBC's research has the potential to greatly diminish the environmental impact of the building industry through widespread sharing and implementation of HouseZero's findings and data-driven building research across new construction and future building renovations worldwide.

About the Harvard Center for Green Buildings & Cities

The Harvard Center for Green Buildings and Cities aims to transform the building industry through a commitment to design-centric and computationally-driven strategies that directly link research outcomes to the development of new processes, systems, and products. By strongly emphasizing innovation and multidisciplinary collaboration, the Center will work to promote holistic change within the built environment, namely the creation and continued improvement of sustainable, efficient, high performance buildings and cities. The CGBC was established at the Harvard Graduate School of Design in 2014.
