Concrete Sustainability Hub researchers Professor Franz-Josef Ulm, Principal Research Scientist Randolph Kirchain, Research Scientist Jeremy Gregory and CEE alumnus Joshua Hester ’11 MNG ’12 PhD ‘18, have developed software to be utilized when designing new buildings. […]
CEE Research Scientist Jeremy Gregory, executive director of the Concrete Sustainability Hub (CSHub), participated in a Q&A with U.S. News and World Report where he discussed the benefits of adopting hazard-resistant construction approaches. Read the article […]
Research from the Concrete Sustainability Hub (CSHub) shows that using life-cycle methodologies before beginning infrastructure projects has both environmental and financial benefits in the long term. The researchers suggest that engineers and policy makers should complete […]
[fusion_text]This summer, members of the Concrete Sustainability Hub (CSHub) traveled to New Brunswick, Canada to get a firsthand look at concrete durability issues at the Mactaquac Dam. CSHub is collaborating with researchers from the University of […]
[fusion_text]Concrete Sustainability Hub (CSHub) Executive Director Jeremy Gregory and Co-Director Randy Kirchain were recently announced among the first-ever recipients of funding from the Campus Sustainability Incubator Fund through the MIT Office of Sustainability. The researchers will […]
[fusion_text]Researchers in the Concrete Sustainability Hub have created an online tool that predicts hazard mitigation breakeven costs for counties along the Atlantic coast that are susceptible to damage during hurricane season. The tool, called the Break-Even […]
Retrofitting a small portion of buildings would have big impact on cities’ carbon emissions. Many programs encourage owners of homes and other buildings to improve their energy efficiency, sometimes offering substantial subsidies or tax incentives for […]
MIT News Office Research aims to encourage decision makers to think of infrastructure as part of the solution in a carbon constrained environment. Most people know that properly inflated tires can improve a vehicle’s fuel efficiency, […]
