The diagram illustrates the adapted Net-Zero-Energy (NZE) building design, NZE balance line, and benchmarking flow. The images in the frame show some early pioneered and built solar building typologies by Thomas Spiegelhalter and Associates in Southwest Germany, and in the U.S.A.

This grant supports work to lower energy consumption in municipal

buildings through the development and

implementation of energy efficiency standards and policies.

Three municipalities in South America and the Caribbean were selected:

Goiania, Brazil; Valdivia/Los Rios, Chile;Port of Spain in Trinidad and Tobago.

FIU partners with universities in each city: Universidad Federal de Goias(UFG), Universidad Austral de Chile (UACH), and University of the West

Indies (UWI)

Strategies for Learning: Augmented Reality and Collaborative Problem Solving for Building Sciences

NSF Funding 2015-2017

This Interdisciplinary project integratesAugmented Reality with Building InformationModeling (BIM), visual simulations, andinteractive lessons to support collaborativelearning among Architects, Engineers andConstruction students to improve their capacity todesign sustainable and resilient Buildings.

This book is a compendium of existing built works of architecture that demonstrate bestpractices and principles of designing and constructing buildings that are both environmentallyresponsible and architecturally expressive. The buildings selected for inclusion in this bookexhibit a high level of sustainability and environmental performance and at the same time arecomplex architectural proposals.

This book and software are developed toadvance the education of climateresponsive and ecologically sustainable andresilient building design. It is constructed asan immersive and integrated learningenvironment, delivering the content in aninteractive format.
