CIEE, in partnership with the California Natural Resources Agency, is pleased to announce the selected recipients of California’s Fifth Climate Change Assessment – Core Climate Research Program, which aims to support original research that addresses California-specific climate change priorities.

Postdoctoral scholar Dr. Miriam Aczel reflects on her time with CIEE as she moves on to the next chapter of her career.

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.

CIEE’s 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.”
