Sustainable and Healthy Buildings

摘要

Nowadays, awareness and understanding on health and well-being related to various built-environments has become a part of the responsibility of architectural designers and scientists. It was in this context that the Center for Sustainable Healthy Buildings (CSHeB) at Kyung Hee University has been nominated as an Engineering Research Center (ERC) of an Advanced Center of Excellence (ACE) by Korean Government in September of 2008. A total grant, approximately US $10 million for 7 years, has been provided by the government for the funding of CSHeB. The Center's emphasis is based on creative research to ensure exploration of basic theory and knowledge that may lead to outstanding papers and the development of advanced technologies for sustainable building environment.
