Summary
RISE seminar on 13 January 2026 (Tuesday)
Presentation Title: Frontiers and Exploration of Building Energy Efficiency and Low-Carbon Technologies
Abstract:
In the context of the new era of the dual-carbon strategy and the rapid development of artificial intelligence, China's building energy efficiency faces new challenges and opportunities. This report explores the impact of energy, materials, and artificial intelligence technologies on low-carbon intelligent design, operation, and maintenance in the building sector, as well as on the innovation of key products. It also introduces the team's research explorations and engineering practices in this field, along with reflections on new models for graduate education.
