About us

Institute for Environmental Design and Engineering (IEDE)

We pursue a deeper understanding of the interactions between the built environment and health, human wellbeing, productivity, energy use and climate change. Our courses train students wanting to make buildings, towns and cities more sustainable, efficient, and healthier. We deliver interdisciplinary built environment research to improve health, wellbeing and sustainability. Our specialist expertise in temperature, moisture and air quality, light and lighting, and acoustics is underpinned by systems thinking to understand how different elements interact to create buildings and spaces where people can live healthy, fulfilling lives.

We have numerous research and consultancy relationships with industry and governments and a long track record of translating our world-leading research into powerful competitive advantages for partners in industry, government and charity.
