• CU and MIT have maintained close cooperation with industry on monitoring of advanced buildings, design, analysis and planning of innovative facilities.
• Ongoing meeting with BP Global Property Management and Services in UK and US on major new BP sites. – Aberdeen Headquarters
Professional Courses offered by CMI on Natural Ventilation,
Sustainable Buildings• Cambridge U 2001 for architects, engineers,
developers• UC San Diego 2001 for architects, engineers,
developers• MIT 2002 for architects, engineers, developers• Cambridge U 2003 for graduate students• MIT 2003 for architects, engineers, developers• Edinburgh 2003 CIBSE/ASHRAE for architects,
• Reduce the environmental impacts associated with structural materials for building.
• Interdisciplinary approach: combining materials technology and regulatory policy.
• Assess data on life cycle impacts of the most common structural materials: steel and concrete.
• Evaluate the potential of breakthrough materials technologies like eco-cement, which could drastically reduce the CO2 emissions associated with Portland Cement
Load Monitoring• In a parallel project, MIT is developing a set of power
monitors that can discern and track individual electrical loads from a central location within a building, thereby reducing the cost to obtain valuable information about energy usage and operating faults.
• As part of the CMI project, MIT is working with researchers at Cambridge to extend this technology.
• Make the load monitor as easy to install as possible for small buildings and for temporary load-monitoring programs

Expected milestones:• Q1 (1 Aug 2003 - 31 Oct 2003)
– Presentation of a one day session at the CIBSE/ASHRAE International Conference Preliminary full scale monitoring of naturally ventilated commercial building in Luton UK.
• Q2 (1 Nov 2003 - 31 Jan 2004)– Construction and preliminary testing of scale model of
Luton building.– Preparation of 2 or 3 papers for 2004 Room Vent
conference based on monitoring and CFD results for the Luton building
– Meeting with BP on advanced laboratory and office facilities plans.
