Research Areas
Developing and scaling solutions in focus research areas through lean domain teams, supported by internal and external collaborations. Key enablers include the startup ecosystem, cultivating talent, open testbeds and living labs, collaborative solutioning, and policy engagement to translate research and evidence into wider adoption and impact.
Research Areas
Urban Microclimate
Developing data-driven and scalable solutions to make cities cooler, healthier, and more climate-resilient through heat mitigation, climate-responsive planning, urban microclimate modelling, sustainable mobility, and geospatial analytics, while translating research into policy and practice.
Decarbonizing Residential Cooling
Developing low-carbon cooling solutions by integrating district cooling with thermal energy storage, and efficient cooling technologies to reduce peak demand, shift cooling to cleaner energy periods and enable resilient urban cooling.
Smart Buildings
Advancing healthy, energy-efficient, and responsive buildings through sensor-based monitoring, indoor environmental quality assessment, occupant behaviour analysis, AI-ML-based analytics, building simulation, and intelligent controls, with the goal of improving building performance, energy efficiency, and occupant well-being.
Smart Microgrids
Developing intelligent, flexible, and resilient microgrids by integrating renewable energy, storage, EVs, and controllable loads, and applying digital intelligence to enable real-time energy management, demand-side flexibility, and bidirectional energy flows while reducing energy costs and emissions.
