The project is supported under the NSF Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability Fellows (SEES Fellows) program, with the goal of helping to enable discoveries needed to inform actions that lead to environmental, energy and societal sustainability while creating the necessary workforce to address these challenges. Sustainability science is an emerging field that addresses the challenges of meeting human needs without harm to the environment, and without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their needs. A strong scientific workforce requires individuals educated and trained in interdisciplinary research and thinking, especially in the area of sustainability science. With the SEES Fellowship support, this project will enable a promising early career researcher to establish himself in an independent research career related to sustainability. This project addresses the fact that buildings are responsible for over 40% of all energy consumption and GHG emissions in the US. The impact of building systems is even more pronounced in dense urban areas like New York City (NYC) where over 75% of GHG emissions come from energy used in buildings. Any transition towards a sustainable NYC will require addressing this energy and pollution intensive built environment. This research proposal aims to integrate data-driven methodologies from information science, social science, network science and urban planning with engineering to increase the energy efficiency and sustainability of urban building systems. Specifically, this project will identify district level energy efficiency opportunities for urban buildings systems, characterize the interdependencies between the built, natural and human environments and model the impact of energy policy instruments to enhance the sustainability and resilience of NYC and Mumbai, India. As a part of this project, the PI will build upon his expertise in civil engineering and building systems by incorporating data science, social science and urban planning into his exploration of energy and sustainability challenges facing urban building systems.

该项目得到了 NSF 科学、工程和可持续发展教育研究员 (SEES Fellows) 计划的支持，其目标是帮助实现所需的发现，为实现环境、能源和社会可持续发展的行动提供信息，同时创造必要的劳动力来解决这些问题挑战。可持续性科学是一个新兴领域，旨在解决在不损害环境、不牺牲子孙后代满足其需求的能力的情况下满足人类需求的挑战。强大的科学队伍需要受过跨学科研究和思维教育和培训的个人，特别是在可持续发展科学领域。在 SEES 奖学金的支持下，该项目将使有前途的早期职业研究人员能够在与可持续发展相关的独立研究生涯中奠定自己的基础。该项目解决了这样一个事实：建筑物占美国所有能源消耗和温室气体排放的 40% 以上。建筑系统的影响在纽约市 (NYC) 等人口稠密的城市地区更为明显，那里超过 75% 的温室气体排放来自建筑所使用的能源。任何向可持续纽约市的转变都需要解决这种能源和污染密集型的建筑环境问题。该研究计划旨在将信息科学、社会科学、网络科学和城市规划的数据驱动方法与工程相结合，以提高城市建筑系统的能源效率和可持续性。具体来说，该项目将确定城市建筑系统的地区级能源效率机会，描述建筑环境、自然环境和人类环境之间的相互依赖性，并对能源政策工具的影响进行建模，以增强纽约市和印度孟买的可持续性和复原力。作为该项目的一部分，PI 将利用他在土木工程和建筑系统方面的专业知识，将数据科学、社会科学和城市规划融入到他对城市建筑系统面临的能源和可持续发展挑战的探索中。
