Food for Thought Public Lecture Series: Building Environments: Designing & Constructing Deep Decarbonization Pathways
The annual Food for Thought Public Lecture Series is in its 21st season of bringing timely science topics to the community: our neighbours, alumni, students, staff and faculty!聽
This year's theme is Building Back Better: How to Sustainably Restructure Our Way of Living.
Join us at the next lecture hosted on Zoom:聽 (Meeting ID: 872 4242 1944)
Guest Speaker: Dr Michael Jemtrud, Associate Professor, School of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering; Director of the Facility for Architectural Research in Media and Making (FARMM)
Michael Jemtrud is an Associate Professor in the School of Architecture and founding member of the DeCarbonized ARchitecture and Building (DeCARB) research group at 不良研究所. His current research focus concerns carbon critical Deep Energy Retrofit and Renovation solutions of existing building stock and is currently applying for an NSERC Alliance grant to support the 鈥淨uebec Energy Chair in Building Environments.鈥�
The Chair鈥檚 mission is to conduct research and technology development that leads to solutions for the reduction of the immediate and long-term Global Warming Potential (GWP) of the full building environments process. As an essential and primary component of transitioning to a clean energy and low-carbon future, the Architectural-Engineering-Construction (AEC) and energy sectors must devise new concepts, methods, tools, and technologies that collectively form meaningful and viable deep decarbonization pathways in the design, construction, and operation of buildings, communities, and the construction ecosystem as a whole.
