Cruickshank has received $5.1 million in funding from the NRCan Energy Innovation Program, and the Ontario Research Fund (ORF), to develop new building envelope technologies that make Canada?s buildings less greenhouse gas intensive. ?Carleton continues to take the lead on advances in sustainable construction,? said Rafik Goubran, vice-president (Research and International). ?The Carleton?s Centre for Advanced Building Envelope Research (CU-CABER) research program will foster clean energy innovation and play an important role in developing new solutions leading to more efficient, resilient buildings.?
According to Carleton University, CU-CABER plans to develop approaches that are thinner and cheaper, as well as new methods for renovating existing buildings with fewer cost and less disruption.
