- This $284,443 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) to the University of Chicago. The project, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: CAIG: DEVELOPING AI EMULATOR TOOLS FOR EXTREME EVENTS WITH APPLICATION TO HEAT WAVES AND COLD SNAPS", aims to develop advanced mathematical tools and AI emulation techniques to improve the estimation of rare climate events,...
- This Project Grant award of $177,996.00, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, investigates the spatial and temporal patterns of urban heat islands (UHI) and urban pollution islands (UPI) at the neighborhood scale. The project aims to develop geographical methods to better understand how UHI and UPI interact and affect heat and air quality for urban residents. Key activities include: Collecting fine-scale ground...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program award of $295,683 to the University of Oklahoma, awarded on January 1, 2024, supports the development of an integrated urban building energy modeling framework. The objective is to enhance the predictive understanding of city-level building energy use across the U.S. in response to various local and regional meteorological conditions. The project will integrate multi-scale, long-term urban meteorological predictions and physics-based building stock models to provide more accurate, realistic, yet computationally efficient predictions of urban building energy use. This award aims to bridge the knowledge gap on the impact of urban climates on building energy use, which is crucial for improving urban energy and climate resilience, and achieving energy saving and emission reduction goals. No sub-awards are planned under this project.
