Area of Research

Urban Sustainability and Building Energy Efficiency Retrofit Policy/Project

Research Scope

My  research  focuses  on  how to  use  building  energy  efficiency  retrofit  to  enhance  urban  sustainability  in environmental,  economic  and  social  aspects.  By  exploring  the  impacts  of  building  energy  efficiency  retrofit and  the  systemic  relationships  among  different  impacts,  a  rational  policy  framework  for  building  energy efficiency  retrofit  is  aimed  to  be  formed.  The  framework  will  furtherly  help to  identify  significant  triggers  for building  energy  efficiency  retrofit  and  encourage  more  stakeholders’  participation  and  investment.  In  the future,  the  frame  of  this  research  will  be  generalised to  help  in  policy-making research  for  more  projects which can enhance urban sustainability.

Research Methodology

My research contains different research methodologies in different steps:
  • 1. The potential policy frameworks ofbuilding energy efficiency retrofit will be establishedby literature reviewand expert interview.
  • 2. The major methodology of this research is cost-benefit analysis to judge the positive or negative impacts ofeach policy framework;
  • 3. To assist the conduction of cost-benefit analysis, various conventional methodologies, including literaturereview, questionnaire survey and in-depth interview, will be used.
  • 4. The results will be validated with both the professionals and public byinterview and questionnaire survey.
