What is ERBE?
ERBE CDT is the Energy Resilience and the Built Environment Centre for Doctoral Training, which delivers high quality doctoral training and research at the interface of the energy and buildings sectors. ERBE CDT focuses on the interactions between energy supply systems and buildings, and the need to create healthy and productive home and work environments to adapt to the urgent challenges of climate change.

ERBE is hosted by the UCL Energy Institute and the School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering at Loughborough University together with MaREI - the SFI Research Centre for Energy, Climate and Marine Research and Innovation - the SFI Research Centre for Energy, Climate and Marine Research and Innovation co-ordinated by the Environmental Research Institute at University College Cork. ERBE is the successor CDT of LoLo.

ERBE CDT is supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and Science Foundation Ireland.
