CBPD Website Launched 15 Feb 2005

The Center for Building Performance & Diagnostics is pleased to announce the re-launch of its website on February 15th, 2005. The new website incorporates the information available on the old website in a more intuitive, user-friendly format, as well as new content and features made possible by our continued growth.

Though designed with an emphasis on our academic mission, we have also focused the content to be of relevance to our non-academic partners. Whether it is in the government, corporate or non-profit arenas, the CBPD hopes this website will bring attention to the critical need for high-performance buildings and systems integration as demand for energy grows at a level unsustainable by the world's supply of fossil fuels.
