We are developing decision-making tools to support energy efficient building retrofits and examining how to significantly scale up heat electrification using low- and no-carbon technologies for both new and existing building stock.
Tools for designing with forked tree branches
Transparent aerogels for solar devices, windows
Faster fabrication, renewable materials
Designing resource-efficient, appealing cities
A pathway to flexible, resilient architecture
Leaching characteristics of biomass ash-based binder in neutral and acidic media
Smart meter-based archetypes for socioeconomically sensitive urban building energy modeling
Integrated energy demand-supply modeling for low-carbon neighborhood planning
AI supports the clean energy transition as it manages power grid operations, helps plan infrastructure investments, guides development of novel materials, and more.
Can concrete supply power like batteries? MIT scientists prove so.
MIT researchers have developed a new kind of electron-conducting cement “that can store and release electricity like batteries.”
Microsoft agrees to buy 622K tons of ‘green’ cement from Mass. company
MIT spinout Sublime Systems signed a deal with Microsoft to supply over 600,000 metric tons of their low-carbon cement over the next six to nine years. “Sublime’s mission is to have a swift and massive impact measured in the amount of cement we produce and sell,” said CEO Leah Ellis, a former MIT postdoc.
