bill of materials carbon footprint reduction data collection researchWe are thrilled to present an exciting opportunity for talented students to contribute to our new project, Tuuli Building Decarbonization Strategies Database.
In this project, we will be creating a database of sustainable buildings and the carbon reduction strategies that were implemented to make them low carbon. Students will assist in conducting research, collecting data and compiling findings.
This will involve several different steps for the students, including:
- Familiarizing themselves with interview procedures and participating in training activities.
- Reading relevant academic journals and finding case studies of sustainable buildings that include the necessary information (building drawings, bill of materials and completed LCAs).
- Reaching out to researchers and academics to obtain the data and/or extract the relevant information from sources.
- Recording, organizing, and storing results according to conventions.
- Verifying that data is recorded accurately.
- Compiling summary notes of the buildings' key carbon reduction strategies and features.
By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:
- Understanding of sustainable buildings and carbon reduction strategies
- Collection, documentation and organization of relevant data
- Verification of data accuracy
- Compilation of key takeaways from each case study
Bonus steps would include:
- Suggesting improvements to the process
Final deliverables should include
- A final report with 15 high-quality sets of building data.
Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:
- Our research projects
- Current understanding of our field of research
- Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
