Our Research Groups and Centres
Smart Heat Networks
NTU's Smart Heat Network (SHN) has been set up to respond to the challenges of this transformation. UK experience in heat networks is concentrated in a handful of cities such as Nottingham and Sheffield.
Vision-based Structural Health Monitoring
Monitoring deformations and movements of structures is an essential tool for asset management and condition monitoring. Our research is developing the latest cutting-edge, low-cost technologies to push the field forward.
The Creative and Virtual Technologies Lab
The Creative and Virtual Technologies Lab is a multidisciplinary research environment where architects, artists, designers, engineers, computer scientists and human scientists collaborate to explore the potential of new visualisation techniques and digital design models and processes. This will enhance the quality of our buildings and cities in a sustainable way meeting user expectations.
Centre for Sustainable Construction and Retrofit
The Centre for Sustainable Construction and Retrofit offers insights into the sustainability in the built environment, specifically how the net-zero by 2050 target presents a huge challenge to the construction sector, which accounts for up to 50% of carbon emissions.
Featured facility: Newton and Arkwright
