Grant: Canada Research Chairs
Université de Sherbrooke
$200,000.00
Multiscale Building Physics
FY 2021-22
Summary
With the built environment facing increase in urban heat island intensity, amplified by climate change, this CRC goals are: 1.to explore the physics at play at different scales, properly linking these scales into an integrated multiscale approach, 2.to develop novel performance assessment methodologies for hygrothermal durability and urban heat island mitigation, 3.to apply newly developed models towards designing innovative solutions. The CRC addresses scientific challenges in building and urban physics, from the role of water in porous building materials to the study of urban microclimates. New understanding and pioneering engineering solutions are expected through this integrated computational and experimental approach.
