Centre for Advanced Research in Building Science and Energy (CARBSE)

CARBSE aims at providing an impetus for research in energy efficiency in built environment and energy resource management at large. Its objective is to carry out in-depth research in the fields of energy efficient building design, energy efficient building construction processes, environment friendly construction materials and resource audit and management. It has been awarded the status of a ‘Regional Energy Efficiency Centre on Building Energy Efficiency’ by USAID ECO-III program and ‘Centre of Excellence’ by Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India. The centre is also leading research project under the prestigious US India Joint Centre for Building Energy Research and Development. CARBSE is supported by Gujarat Energy Development Agency, industry and various philanthropic organizations. Along with generating new knowledge in area of habitat and energy through R&D programs, the Centre for Advance Research in Building Science and Energy does support industry, government and non-government organizations through material characterizations in controlled environment, human thermal comfort studies in field and in controlled environment, building energy field measurements, advanced energy modelling, and data analysis. We support develop new products, processes and / or help solve practical problem. We rely on our scientific, socio-cultural and economic collective knowledge to find appropriate solutions.
