Prof. Niu Jian-lei, Professor and Associate Head of the Department of Building Services Engineering, was recently awarded fellowship by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-conditioning Engineers, in recognition of his distinguished attainment and substantial contributions in the field and the built environment.
