This Project Grant award, totaling $439,266.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Purdue University. The primary goal of this 3-year award, effective from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2028, is to establish an REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) site focused on built environment decarbonization. The program will engage 8 undergraduate students annually in conducting applied research to address systems-level challenges and develop innovative solutions for reducing carbon emissions across the lifecycle of the built environment, including manufacturing, construction, and operations. Students will utilize advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, digital twins, and smart energy assistants to optimize design, materials, on-site construction, and facility operations based on lifecycle assessment (LCA) principles. This award supports NSF's mission to promote research and enhance the STEM workforce by providing undergraduates with hands-on, industry-relevant research experiences that bridge academic theory and real-world practice.
