About us

Researchers from the School of the Built Environment developed CRESBE as a research, development and innovation platform to foster collaboration.  A workshop was conducted to identify priority research themes under CRESBE.  The visual representation developed by CRESBE researchers at the workshop is given below. Research projects are clustered under three themes:

  • Theme 1 : Climate resilient project delivery – searching ways to make “projects” resilient and making BE resilient by “projects”
  • Theme 2 : Decarbonisation and climate adaptation interventions, design, technology and nature-based solutions for systemic resilience and sustainability
  • Theme 3 : Digital technology for understanding systemic climate risk and resilience
