The Sustainable Urban Systems Lab, led by Dr. Patrick Kastner at Georgia Tech's School of Architecture (SoA), focuses on developing innovative tools and methodologies to estimate performance indicators of buildings and cities.
Our mission is to empower urban decision-makers with software tools that place sustainability at the forefront of their profession. We contribute to the MS and PhD in Architecture curriculum at the SoA with a program concentration in High Performance Building.
The lab leads a VIP titled Surrogate Modeling for Urban Regeneration (SMUR), which attracts a diverse group of students ranging from sophomore to graduate level, representing various engineering disciplines and other related fields across Georgia Tech.
