Description: The Built Environment Research Group, led by Dr. Brent Stephens in Architectural Engineering at Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) in Chicago, IL, works to advance energy, environmental, and sustainability research within the built environment. Their expertise includes indoor air quality, outdoor air quality, HVAC filtration, building energy efficiency, building energy modeling, weatherization retrofits, energy policy and electric grid modeling, human exposure assessment, and experimental field studies
The Built Environment Research Group (BERG) is the research group of Dr. Brent Stephens in the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering at Illinois Institute of Technology . BERG is dedicated to investigating problems and solutions related to energy and air quality within the built environment. We work on projects ranging from measuring exposures to indoor air pollution to dynamic building energy modeling.
If you are interested in (1) working with, (2) sponsoring, or (3) learning more about the Built Environment Research Group, don’t hesitate to contact us. We are always looking for motivated students interested in architectural engineering, environmental engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, or architecture to work in the group.
