Our Mission

Ye’s research group aims to become a research and education center for sustainable buildings from micro (building energy systems) to macro (urban scale). The group works on integrated solutions for sustainable, resilient, and equitable buildings, communities, and cities in the design and operation stages. With close collaborations with different domain experts and industrial partners, the group hopes to bridge architectural engineering and other domains’ knowledge, and research and practical applications for interdisciplinary research.
