CIEE’s Dr. Therese Peffer and Dr. Miriam Aczel are part of a multi-institutional research team that was awarded $12,000 from the France-Berkeley Fund to advance strategies for local decarbonization, sustainability, and urban resilience.

Building Efficiency for a Sustainable Tomorrow (BEST) Center hosted the 13th annual Building Automation Systems (BAS) workshop in Berkeley, CA from June 3-7.

Researchers from CIEE and the Center for the Built Environment (CBE) will lead two projects focused on developing decarbonization solutions for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in large commercial buildings.

CIEE’s Dr. Therese Peffer, with partners from the Center for the Built Environment and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, was awarded the 2024 Best Paper Award from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).

CIEE and the Center for the Built Environment completed a three-year project to reduce the substantial energy consumption and associated emissions by large-scale commercial buildings.

CIEE Postdoctoral Scholar Dr. Miriam Aczel recently co-published a book review of On the Move: The Overheating Earth and the Uprooting of America by journalist Abrahm Lustgarten in Science Magazine.

Co-hosted by the Building Efficiency for a Sustainable Tomorrow (BEST) Center and the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL), this year’s conference centered on the theme, “Less Carbon, More Action! Strategies for Buildings & Technician Education.”

CIEE Senior Advisor Dr. Terry Surles and co-author Joachim Monkelbaan propose an integrated approach to implementing the global energy transition in the latest issue of the Journal of International Business and Diplomacy.

Eleanor Adachi, a dual-degree Master’s student at UC Berkeley and recipient of the 2023 Art Rosenfeld Award, shares how the award has helped further her research on dynamic electricity pricing and beyond.
