The sister institutes, UCL Institute for Sustainable Resources (ISR) and UCL Energy Institute (UCL-Energy), are located in The Bartlett, the internationally renowned Faculty of the Built Environment at UCL. UCL ISR and UCL-Energy have a broad range of expertise in policy, resource efficiency, energy system and sustainability analysis, which have been widely used to support policy making. With research projects to a value of more than £15 million, including five current FP7 projects (POLFREE, EMInInn, CECILIA2050, ADVANCE and Carbon-CAP) the twin institutes have fast become one of the centres of excellence in energy and sustainability research in the UK. Researchers from the Institutes feed into government policy at all levels, through Ministerial Advisory Panels and Expert Task Forces at UK level, projects, conferences, seminars and workshops for different DGs of the European Commission, and membership of UNEP’s International Resource Panel globally.
