Center for Sustainable Building Research
The Center for Sustainable Building Research (CSBR), established as an official unit within the College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (CALA) in 2001, conducts building research within CALA. CSBR is a place for organizing and effectively increasing the research and outreach missions of the college, as well as working with other units to enhance CALA’s teaching mission.
Research areas include sustainable design, energy-efficient buildings, windows and glazing research, building design process and evaluation, human factors, and building science. There is much support for sustainable building research projects and this group is sponsored by the United States Department of Energy and state agencies such as the Minnesota Departments of Natural Resources and Transportation and the Office of Environmental Assistance. Other sponsors include building industry sources such as Aspen Research Corporation.
