The ERBE CDT brings together world-leading academics from physics, engineering, the social sciences and economics to future leaders in energy research.
Leading the Energy System Transformation
We are on the brink of a new, Third Age of energy efficiency, a revolution in the way we think about the relationship between energy supply and demand. A revolution which will see the creation of a new, resilient and flexible energy system. One where energy supply and energy demand interact in real time to assure a clean, secure and affordable supply of heat and power to our homes, businesses and industry.
The Centre for Doctoral Training in Energy Resilience and the Built Environment will train the future innovators and leaders capable of driving this energy transformation. Students are trained through a programme of taught courses and PhD research hosted by the leading energy research groups in the UK and Ireland.
The training is led by world-leaders in their field and spans the technical, social and economic aspects of energy in the built environment, including: new and renewable energy systems; energy storage; smart controls; data analytics; socio-technical systems; people-centred design; human behaviour and energy economics.
Our work is supported by our Partners from the energy and construction industries, consultancies, central government, charities and professional institutions. They co-fund our research, support our students’ work and provide a route to impact and future employment.
Whether you’re a prospective ERBE CDT student or a potential stakeholder partner this website gives you an insight into ERBE, our projects, our people and how you can become involved in our programme.

The new EPSRC-SFI CDT in Energy Resilience and the Built Environment (ERBE) brings together established energy research centres at Loughborough University (LU) and University College London (UCL) with MaREI, the SFI Research Centre for Energy, Climate and Marine.
Recruitment is opening soon!
Join the future leaders and innovators. To apply for a place for October 2023…
The ERBE CDT is supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and Science Foundation Ireland (SFI).
LoLo PhD Researcher @GeorgePetrou giving his audience an excellent insight into the publication journey of his paper ‘Home energy efficiency under net zero: time to monitor UK indoor air’, which was recently published in the British Medical Journal @bmj_latest #NetZero #IndoorAir
Decarbonising existing building stock is a huge challenge - we must spend the next decade increasing efficency and working on low carbon heat solutions. Chris Stark @ChiefExecCCC delivers the keynote speech on the way forward to address climate change #loloerbecolloquium
Could creating positive meaning around #heatpumps increase adoption? @csg_shields explores social barriers in the transition from boilers to heat pumps at #loloerbecolloquium
Some fantastic research posters created by our doctoral students are on display today at #loloerbecolloquium! View them all online in our interactive booklet: https://bit.ly/3WS6Clw
Presenting work in-person is always so much better. Long way to go but presented my ongoing #PhD work on thermal comfort and sleep quality and if ‘cool beds’ can provide resiliency to better sleep in extreme conditions at the at the @erbecdt colloquium. #comfort #sleep #PECS
“Negotiating the next three or four decades will take independently minded people with a deep understanding of energy systems and energy demand” - Prof Bob Lowe opens our annual colloquium today at @BulidingCentre #loloerbecolloquium
Come join us at the @LoLoCDT @erbecdt annual Colloquium tomorrow - ft a keynote speech from @ChiefExecCCC + research presentations from CDT PhD students (including me🤓). I'll be sharing findings from my work on public opinion on new energy business models
LoLo-ERBE Annual Colloquium - 10/11/22

Congratulations to one of our PhD Researchers, @vakevabaird who won best presentation in the Energy & Society session at the recent @ETPScotland Energy Conference 🎉👏
Was a pleasure presenting my ongoing research project on stakeholder engagement in the design of net-zero, healthy buildings at the @ETPScotland energy conference #ETPAC22
Grateful for the nomination of my presentation as the winner of best pres in the Energy and Society session
