Join us to explore regenerative design, including architecture, engineering, and place-making strategies that restore and enhance ecological and social systems.
Our expertise broadly falls under three categories: water and chemical, place making, and materials and composites. However, we take an inter- and transdisciplinary approach to research, seeking out collaborations across subject boundaries.
Water and chemical: flooding, safe and sustainable water management, chemical, biochemical, and photocatalytic reactions and reactors.
Place making: low-carbon, low-energy building design and resource efficiency, urban design, conservation and heritage, and architecture history and theory.
Materials and composites: low-cost, bio-inspired and ecologically responsive, and structural dynamics.

Each year, we appoint Chairs for the Global South and the Global North. The roles connect us to institutions worldwide to share knowledge and expertise. Find out about the people behind the roles.
Each year, we appoint a Global South Chair to raise RENEW's international profile. Prof Murilo Innocentini discusses the exciting opportunities of the role.
Professor Arild Gustavsen shares how his collaboration with Bath is driving research on zero-emission buildings and climate-resilient communities.
Each year, we appoint a Global South Chair to raise RENEW's international profile. Dr Adelle Thomas discusses the vital opportunities of the role.

Our project will produce a time series of weather in 2080 for 11,000 locations in the UK.
ZEBRA is a free, novel and simple tool for modelling the energy and carbon performance of buildings.
Our project aims to create shelter designs that improve the living conditions of refugees and other displaced persons living in camps.
We are responding to an urgent need to train architects and engineers to meet the challenge of climate-resilient, energy secure and healthy built environments.
We aim to eliminate peak energy demand in Indian buildings through a new science of zero peak energy building design for warm climates.
There are PhD opportunities in the topics and themes we're researching.
Join our collaborative and supportive research community, and start your journey to becoming an expert in your field.
Each year, MSc students across the university engage in an interdisciplinary project on the social and environmental impacts of lithium mining in Chile.
We are a diverse group of academics and researchers taking on research that is both culturally desirable and in the public interest. We embrace creative ideas around self-sustaining, humanitarian and ecology-conscious engineering and design to create net-positive benefits to people and society. We work with other disciplines because we recognise that technical solutions alone are not sufficient to generate real impact.
