The National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded The University of Central Florida Board of Trustees $304,307 on February 1, 2026, to develop a digital twin modeling framework for quantifying and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from vertical infrastructure operations. The recipient will create a high-fidelity three-dimensional digital twin augmented by live sensor data and real-time predictive models to design and operate buildings with responsive façades that maximize natural lighting and ventilation while minimizing energy consumption and associated GHG emissions. A heavily instrumented building at the University of Pittsburgh will serve as the test bed to create and validate the toolset. The research will deliver digital tools for holistic assessment of short- and long-term building performance by analyzing structural and non-structural components at the material level and optimizing the performance contribution of environmentally adaptive façade components over time. The award also funds educational and outreach activities including graduate and undergraduate instruction, summer research internships, middle school engagement, and underrepresented minority outreach programs. The period of performance runs through December 31, 2026. Place of performance is listed as Alafaya, Florida. The award is structured as a project grant under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041).
