The Sustainable Cities RCN held a workshop at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ, on 10-11 October, 2014 organized by Clint Andrews and colleagues. It explored ways to use information from buildings to improve cities. Participants explored four application areas: environmental performance; human health, safety and satisfaction; urban design, and infrastructure planning. A key finding […]
