<description><![CDATA[Roughly half of older homes across New England have little to no insulation, losing significant energy through their facades. 

Researchers at Boston University's Fraunhofer USA center are tackling this problem with an innovative solution: prefabricated, highly insulated panel blocks that attach to a building's exterior — installed with the help of augmented reality. 

The system uses 3D scanning to map a building's geometry, then guides a two-person crew through placement using AR cues, eliminating the need for any onsite cutting. 

The result? A projected 70–85% reduction in heating and cooling energy loss through the wall. Drawing on expertise spanning mechanical engineering, computer science, building science, and industrial automation, the team is working to bring this technology to market and make a real impact on energy efficiency at scale.]]></description>
