PAIR was honoured to invite Ir The Hon. Chan Siu-hung, Member of the Legislative Council, HKSAR, Ir Edmund Leung Kwong-ho, Former Chief Executive Officer of Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation, and Mr Thomas Tong, Assistant Director (Industry Development) of the Construction Industry Council, on 27 September for a short visit to the research facilities of our Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence of Things (RIAIoT), Otto Poon Charitable Foundation Research Institute for Smart Energy (RISE) and Research Centre for Resources Engineering towards Carbon Neutrality (RCRE).
We had a fruitful discussion of innovative intelligent IoT application for real-time monitoring of construction workers’ health conditions; CO2 sequestration and high-value products derived from construction and demolition waste; recycling of waste glass and incineration residues for concrete application; as well as smart energy and building automation research and application. We anticipate further incorporation of innovative and intelligent elements into the development of the northern metropolitan area, with a view to accelerating smart city development in Hong Kong.
