Themes & platforms
Creating a smart, sustainable and healthy built environment
Skyscrapers, houses, walkways, roads and parks — they're all a part of the built environment. Volt-Age researchers are working toward decarbonization through sustainable architecture and by designing structures that generate more (renewable) energy than they use.
Building resilient community energy and transportation systems
Charging logistics, energy storage and grid cybersecurity are just a handful of the areas where Volt-Age researchers are making their mark.
Planning and governance for social equity and citizen engagement
We will ensure that the electrification and decarbonization of society is based on active citizen engagement and participation, with continuous two-way knowledge mobilization.
Platform A: Electrification
Connecting and integrating technologies that are at the core of our three research themes.
Platform B: Internet‐of‐Things and Digitalization
Creating a systematic framework for efficient, cybersecure, and resilient energy management.
Platform C: Living Labs and Knowledge Mobilization
Engaging communities through hands-on, participatory research and knowledge exchange.
