Our graduate students and staff are located in two rooms in the Canal Building, overlooking the Rideau Canal.<\/p>\n

With a close relationship with Carleton’s Facilities Management and Planning unit, we have access to vast amounts of energy and other data. And we are able to incorporate controls and monitoring equipment seamlessly. Specifically, we have extensive indoor environmental quality, energy, and occupancy\/occupant interaction data for three campus buildings (including the new Health Sciences Building), shown below. The 27 rooms in the Health Sciences Building, with\u00a0which we can perform extensive monitoring and controls research campaigns, represents a, unparalleled state-of-the-art facility.<\/p>\n
