In the afternoon of the symposium, Associate Professor Hua Zhong from the School of the Built Environment and Architecture, London South Bank University gave an academic report on "A Vision for Sustainability in the Built Environment". Associate Professor Shen Wei from the Bartlett School of Environment, Energy and Resources, University College London gave an academic report on "Occupant Behavior - A key Aspect in Building Performance?". Senior Researcher Jing Li from the School of Energy and Environment, University of Hull gave an academic report on "Supercritical Cycle-driven Carnot Battery for Electricity Storage and District Heating". Researcher Haowen Liu from the Department of Building Services Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University shared the research progress on "Photovoltaics Application in Low-carbon Buildings". Postdoctoral Yunhai Li from the School of Energy and Environment, University of Hull shared the latest situation on "High Performance Heat Pump used in UK". Senior Researcher Xiaoli Ma from the School of Energy and Environment, University of Hull shared the research progress on "Thermal Storage Materials Integrated into Photovoltaics cells". Zishang Zhu from Kingston University shared the research status of "Carbon Neutral Calculation Method in UK". Teachers and postgraduates from the School of Environmental Science and Engineering and the School of Energy and Power of our university, and some teachers and postgraduates from the University of Hull, London South Bank University and other universities participated in the symposium. More than 50 people participated in the symposium online and offline.
This international academic symposium aims to gather wisdom on low-carbon buildings, discuss cutting-edge technologies, and share development achievements. At the same time, it is expected to build an efficient communication platform so that participants can fully communicate, share experiences, expand cooperation, and jointly address the global carbon neutrality challenge.
