Research
Our researchers work across four interacting research themes to complete world-class environmental design and engineering research projects. Our ultimate goal is to deliver interdisciplinary built environment research to improve health, wellbeing and sustainability. Our specialist expertise in temperature, moisture and air quality, light and lighting, and acoustics and soundscapes is underpinned by systems thinking to understand how different elements interact to create buildings and spaces where people can live healthy, fulfilling lives. We use a range of methods in our research, including performance modelling and analysis.
We have received three successive EPSRC Platform Grants, while in the last national Research Assessment Exercise our Faculty, The Bartlett, was awarded the most of 4* (world-leading) project ratings among architecture and built environment submissions from UK universities.
