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...

The Southeast Climate & Energy Network Inc. was awarded a $100,000 cooperative agreement from the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program (CFDA 11.431) to capture local climate knowledge for future research in the Southeastern United States. The two-year award running from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2023 will support efforts to develop the knowledge required to establish a predictive capability for short...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) provides $275,000 to Sunairio Inc. to develop a high-fidelity climate simulation engine powered by generative adversarial networks. The goal is to create a broad (1,000 outcomes), hyperlocal (less than 3 km) climate simulation archive that can be used by power grid planners and energy investors to better understand forward-looking risks to grid...

This $1,800,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research on promoting climate-resilient and equitable transit-oriented communities (TOCs) in the Denver metropolitan region. The key products and services to be delivered through this five-year project include: Analyzing the enabling conditions and constraints for policies that support climate-resilient and affordable TOC development across five U.S. states. This...

This five-year, $224,915 project grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities' Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will fund research exploring combined climate intervention strategies for stakeholder use. A team of experts from climate science, engineering, behavioral science and ecology at Louisiana State University will advance the state of science on climate intervention scenarios that keep warming within 1.5 degrees Celsius. The researchers will...
