Research
Research, like education, is a core mission of the Institute. As a strongly collaborative organization, the Institute is keen on fostering collaborative research that pools industry resources as a strategy to amplify results and impact. The potential for collaborative impactful research spans the range of the AECO marketplace, bridging silos that often inhibit collaboration. The research committee intends first to identify these opportunities and then to set about catalyzing collaborative initiatives to realize these potentials.
Committee Initiatives:
- We recently put out a request for research concept briefs and are currently reviewing the submissions. Updates will be published as they are available.
