Project Grant 2324505
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program award to the University of Cincinnati aims to investigate the environmental and equity impacts of building decarbonization retrofits using a novel predictive modeling framework. The $414,396 project, running from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2028, has three research objectives: (1) quantifying the benefits and burdens of building decarbonization retrofits by climate and grid region, (2) analyzing the interactions between retrofits and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,599,996 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) federal grant program to Purdue University. The goal of this award is to develop a new paradigm for smart energy assistants that monitor energy use and needs in affordable housing communities, and create customized interventions to mitigate energy-related disparities experienced by low to moderate income households. The project will involve...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $445,485 Project Grant to the University of Cincinnati (UC) for the "REU SITE: RESEARCH EXPERIENCES FOR AMERICAN LEADERSHIP OF INDUSTRY WITH ZERO EMISSIONS BY 2050 (REALIZE-2050)" program, under the NSF Engineering (CFDA 47.041) grant program. The three-year effort will establish an interdisciplinary research training program at UC to accelerate technology innovations for meeting the U.S. net-zero carbon emissions target by 2050. The...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $360,277 supports collaborative research at Yale University from October 2022 to September 2027 under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083). The research pursues upgrades to projections that describe sociotechnical change related to housing, well-being, and energy-coupled transitions. Specifically, the multidisciplinary team will elucidate perceptions of well-being and paradigms of change among diverse groups; represent the roles of...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award for $399,934 to the Trustees of Boston University will examine climate action, financing, and justice issues in small and midsize cities in the United States. The funded project will survey 250 small and midsize cities to understand their climate action policies and programs, how they are funding these efforts, and how concerns about equity and justice factor into climate policymaking. The project will also conduct in-depth case...
- This $749,628 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund research to advance community-centered, sociotechnical innovation to strengthen urban infrastructure in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan region. The project will engage communities, municipalities, and energy utilities to co-design carbon-neutral energy infrastructure solutions that leverage distributed solar energy and battery storage...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA #47.075) program awarded Northwestern University a $100,000 Project Grant to plan for the creation of an interdisciplinary center that would study the social and behavioral aspects of climate change. The planning will involve meetings of experts from disciplines including psychology, sociology, and environmental science to explore how people receive, process, and respond to information about climate change....
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) provides $350,000.00 to support research at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) on developing and piloting 3D digital models of homes for simulating how extreme heat behaves indoors and outdoors. The objective is to create a shared platform for residents and city partners to explore retrofit options, assess energy use, and make informed decisions about home improvements to increase...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $265,702 Project Grant to the Rochester Institute of Technology under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop an integrated systems model linking consumer activities, expenditures, and energy use from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2026. The research will construct a holistic model of U.S. energy demand considering how consumer actions simultaneously impact multiple sectors, including residences, vehicles, commercial buildings, server networks,...
- This five-year, $721,211 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program will support research at Colorado State University to develop more robust representations of sociotechnical transitions related to housing, well-being, and energy. The multidisciplinary team will conduct interviews and surveys to understand diverse stakeholder perceptions of well-being and social paradigms of change. They will represent the influence of networks and institutions in models...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $520,553 Project Grant under its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Cincinnati. The grant supports a 3-year research project to establish a community-engaged process and integrated modeling platform to help residents in underserved communities in Cincinnati, Ohio identify, plan, and implement decarbonization retrofits for their homes. The project aims to democratize scientific data on building energy modeling to enhance local agency, decision-making, and action around residential building decarbonization. Key activities include conducting surveys, focus groups, and building energy audits to identify psychosocial and technical needs and barriers, developing an innovative building energy modeling platform in collaboration with the community, and using the platform in community workshops to examine how it can support community-driven decarbonization planning. The project seeks to create a replicable model for engaging the public with scientific data to aid community-driven decarbonization efforts.
