The CTBUH Research Division provides support and advocacy for building research that promotes resilient and sustainable building development. It also assists researchers in their efforts to locate funding, information, technical expertise and objective review. In addition to our direct efforts, the CTBUH also encourages others to make building research a priority by increasing funding and developing sensible public policies that advance the goals of making all buildings secure and environmentally responsible. In addition, the CTBUH Research, Academic & Postgraduate Working Group was established in March 2010.
