About Us

The Center for the Built Environment (CBE) was established in May 1997 at the University of California, Berkeley. This website is part of our ongoing effort to provide timely, unbiased information on promising new building technologies and design techniques. Our research is funded by annual contributions from our Industry Partners. The National Science Foundation underwrites our administrative costs. To learn more about CBE, please visit our website.
