The Department of Building Environment and Energy Engineering (BEEE) of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) is pleased to report that Mr WONG Ho Yin (BEEE PhD student, PolyU) and his teammates won the Champion and Favourite Team Award (Tertiary Category) in “Smart@Gwin” E&M IoT Application Challenge, the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD).
The “Smart@GWIN E&M IoT Application Challenge 2022" aims to increase public awareness and understanding of the "Government-Wide IoT Network" (GWIN), a wide area of remote monitoring systems that are used to provide near real-time monitoring of the E&M systems concerned and further improve the reliability of EMSD services. The competition also promotes its widespread application in daily life, optimises smart city management and enhances the quality of public life to maximise the value of public services for the community.
Supervised by Dr Xinyan Huang, Mr WONG Ho Yin and two teammates proposed and developed a winning project titled "Alertech 急中新智系統", a system using wireless sensors to alleviate fire safety problems in old local buildings, which has earned recognition from the judging panels.
Congratulations to Mr WONG Ho Yin for his achievement and the Department wishes Mr Wong every success.
