The University of Alabama at Birmingham received a $149,998 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation (CFDA 47.041) awarded August 15, 2026, with completion targeted for July 31, 2029. The award funds development of REACT (Resilient Energy Assistance Through Collaborative Twinning), a cyberinfrastructure platform designed to integrate artificial intelligence-assisted reasoning with interactive digital twin environments. REACT will support collaborative residential energy auditing, retrofit design, and multi-stakeholder decision-making by connecting building data, domain knowledge, simulation tools, and AI capabilities into a unified platform accessible to the building research community. The primary deliverable is a comprehensive cyberinfrastructure framework that addresses fragmentation in current building energy assessment workflows. By consolidating data collection, analysis, simulation, reporting, and expert interpretation across drones, thermal imaging, AI, and building energy modeling tools, REACT will enable transparent, reproducible, and evidence-based retrofit analysis. The platform will provide researchers and practitioners with intelligent digital twin interfaces for organizing heterogeneous building data, testing retrofit strategies, and examining decision processes, ultimately advancing energy efficiency, housing performance, and resilience in the built environment while supporting scalable research infrastructure for aging and energy-inefficient residential buildings across the United States.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
