College of Architecture + the Arts Associate Professor Camilo Rosales, AIA, has been awarded the Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas (ECPA) Grant by the U.S. Department of State. Rosales, along with a team of researchers that he led, received a total award amount of $791, 531. Through this grant, Rosales and his team will work to create programs that support energy reduction. Rosales’s investigation group teamed up with three Latin American Universities and the three cities of Valdivia (Chile), Goiania (Brazil), and Port of Spain (Trinidad and Tobago). The group will apply their research and findings to these geographical areas. “This is a great opportunity for FIU to give something back to Latin America,” said Rosales. “Some of our [very own] professors and students come from Latin America.” Rosales also stated how rewarding it is to contribute to the well-being of the region.
