Urban and Architectural Design

Zero Energy Campus

The project aims to investigate the solar energy harvesting potential on opaque façade areas and apply more advanced clean energy systems like tailored colored façade integrated photovoltaic (FIPV) on campus buildings. It will also improve energy efficiency by passively cooling the systems, using radiative cooling and self-cleaning coatings techniques.

Urban Renovation

The objective of this project is to achieve the urban renewal of the East Kowloon area through designing interactive Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) facades. The BIPV system is capable of generating clean energy during the day, while providing the public with diverse and engaging activities during the night. It has the potential to be transformed into an advertising space and alter the city’s image in the future.

Vertical Farming

The research aims to investigate a novel approach to designing high-rise buildings that integrate the concept of vertical farming. The implementation of vertical farming has the potential to improve local food self-sufficiency and reduce the carbon emissions associated with logistics. Moreover, vertical farming can be integrated with other emerging sustainable technologies, such as solar facades, to create innovative and holistic solutions for buildings and communities.
