Research
SCITHub supports three interconnected areas of research: Smarter Cities, Better Buildings for People and Better Buildings for the Planet. Its integrated building systems, flexible test environments and shared data platform allow researchers to compare technologies, test operating strategies and study how buildings affect people, communities and the environment. Researchers can access real-time data and conduct research on site or remotely.
Smarter Cities
Exploring how building data can connect with energy, water, transportation and public-service systems to support more efficient, resilient and responsive communities.
Better Buildings for People
Studying how building systems, smart technologies and indoor environments improve health, safety, comfort, accessibility, well-being and productivity.
Better Buildings for the Planet
Developing and testing technologies, algorithms and operating strategies that reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions and support the transition to net-zero buildings.
