Dr. Dehkordi Recipient of NSERC Engage Grant

We are happy to announce that FAST faculty Dr. Hamid Dehkordi, P.Eng received the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Engage Grant Funding for his proposal “Design and Simulate Leaf Guard to Improve Drainage Capability” with industry partner NEEB Engineering Inc.

NEEB Engineering has developed a rainwater harvesting system (RWH) to address the growing challenge of water scarcity and to satisfy the growing trend for sustainable technologies in the building construction sector.

The leaf guard is an important component of the RWH technology in ensuring optimum water quality and this grant will help determine how to optimize the water capture and drainage capability of the leaf guard by means of computer modeling.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Hamid Dehkordi. We wish him the best of luck with this applied research initiative!
