Special Projects
The Center for Sustainable Building Research is working on several special projects related to sustainable affordable housing. The goal of these projects is to provide direct technical assistance to state agencies, developers, and designers while gaining feedback on tools and evaluation protocols under development. These projects are an invaluable link between the University and the community, expanding our knowledge and understanding of all facets of housing.
