Andrea presents at MIT's CEE Rising Stars Workshop

 

Andrea Green, a PhD candidate in the Billington lab, presented her research on designing buildings that adapt to residents’ needs at MIT’s Rising Stars Workshop in Civil and Environmental Engineering. She introduced HERO, a framework that brings residents’ needs, environmental conditions, and engineering performance into building design decisions. Andrea illustrated the approach with two applications that support aging in place: designing lighting retrofits for senior housing and choosing sensors for spaces that support older adults’ daily care.
