Young RISE member, Dr. Hangxin Li, awarded a major research grant of RMB 5.1M from Shenzhen Science and Technology Innovation Commission

We are pleased to share that Dr. Hangxin LI, our young RISE member and Research Assistant Professor of Department of Building Environment and Energy Engineering (BEEE), was awarded the Dual-Carbon Fund from Shenzhen Science and Technology Innovation Commission (深圳科技創新委員會可持續發展科技專項-雙碳專項). The total funding amount of the project is RMB 5.1 million, including 1.1 million of industrial matching.   

The project is led by our RISE young member, Dr. Li as the Project Coordinator (PC), in collaboration with Shenzhen University and Shenzhen Institute of Building Research. The key members of PolyU team also include Prof. Shengwei WANG and Prof. Fu XIAO, as Co-PIs, from RISE and the Department of Building Environment and Energy Engineering (BEEE).

The project aims at developing and demonstrating the energy efficiency and flexibility technologies for buildings in high-density cities to support the achievement of Carbon Neutrality goal in the GBA. The main objectives of the project include: (i). to develop system optimization technologies of buildings for enhanced energy efficiency and flexibility, (ii). to develop online optimal control technologies for energy efficiency and flexibility management of buildings, and (iii). to implement and demonstrate the system optimization and control technologies developed.

Congratulations to Dr Li!
