WEBINAR: On Buildings, Energy, and Health in a Changing Climate
Join us as Dr. Holly Samuelson presents research using building performance simulation among other methods to improve energy and environmental performance and human health in buildings and cities. This includes improving modeling methods for urban context, stormwater, occupant behavior, and occupant views, as well as investigating heat vulnerability at the building and city scale and moisture and mold performance of buildings in future climates.
Presenter
