About the webinar
"Low carbon emission”, “smart operation” and “high indoor environment quality” are the emerging trends and ultimate goal of the building industry under the era of sustainable development. In April-May 2022, School of Architecture (Tsinghua University) and The UCL Institute for Environmental Design and Engineering jointly launched four international lectures, which were attended by 10,100 participants through online conference platforms and live streaming. To further promote international cooperation and interaction, the two institutions will again jointly launch two international seminars on "Low Carbon, Intelligent and Healthy buildings" on 21st September and in October 2022. Each seminar will feature presentations from Chinese and British scholars and provide a platform for exchange and discussion.
