CEE Research Excellence on Green Building Materials
CEE scholars have long been striving to achieve sustainability and carbon-neutral goals in the construction industry by developing advanced green building materials.
Prof. Chi Sun Poon, Head of CEE, has led his team in researching waste recycling solutions since the beginning of 2000. They have developed eco-blocks by utilising construction waste, demolition waste and recycled glass and transforming them into low-carbon construction materials. The eco-blocks can be applied to various development projects to reduce carbon emission and maintain sustainability in the community.
Prof. Jian-Guo Dai, Professor of CEE, together with his research team, have invented an Eco-friendly Smart Sub-ambient Radiative Cooling (SSRC) Coating, “Umicool”. UmiCool is an eco-friendly, long-lasting, self-cleaning, low-cost polymeric radiative cooling coating that can reduce the interior temperature of infrastructure under direct sunlight while consuming zero electricity.
InnoCarnival 2023, with the theme “Go Smart! Go Tech! Go Green!” was held from 28 October to 5 November 2023 in Hong Kong Science Park, where both Prof. Poon and Prof. Dai’s researches were exhibited.
