The centre will develop buildings that emit no greenhouse gases, by studying the entire life-cycle of the building, from its components and materials to its operation. The centre will be involved in a broad range of activities from materials research to research on the building as a whole and its systems, and will develop new materials and components where existing ones are inadequate.
