CIBS Vision and Mission

 

The Center for Integrated Building Systems (CIBS) at Oklahoma State University (OSU) has a vision of an integrated network of buildings, industrial facilities, energy storage, and a grid that reduces carbon emissions through intelligently-controlled improvements in equipment, systems, and chemistry. Our vision is executed through a pre-competitive research mission that delivers tangible tools, data, codebases, for Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC&R) equipment, energy storage, and refrigerant transition to support decarbonization. Additionally, CIBS will develop and train energy-literate talent for our Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) members and the broader community to further support decarbonization through their products and services. 

2024-2026 Research Thrust Topics

Decarbonization and Integration

Heat pump equipment technology:
Compression • Heat exchanger technology
Thermal energy storage and hydronics

Refrigerant diversity and Future

Test data on new refrigerants
Leakage and safety of flammable refrigerants

Other Energy Topics
