ERBE Summer School 2024

The ERBE Summer School took place in June in UCC and took the format of a series of workshops led by Prof. Brian Norton. The aim of the Summer School was to train the students in producing a paper provisionally entitled “Methodological challenges in research on energy resilience of the built environment.” 

Students reviewed the relevant literature to determine key issues that need to be considered to ensure methodologies used are fit-for-purpose.

If approved the resulting paper will be co-authored by all contributing workshop participants.

As part of the Summer School, the students also had a buildings tour of UCC and a visit to the LIR National Ocean Testing Facility in Ringaskiddy which was very informative for all attendees.

 

The ERBE CDT is supported by the Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
