Abstract:

This talk provides a quick overview on some primary research interests and projects of Dr. Zhai in the last ten years. It is organized into three categories: indoor environment, envelope, and urban environment. Both passive and active building systems such as natural ventilation, displacement ventilation, thermal storage wall, building-integrated PVT system, etc. are discussed with experience and lessons shared. The presentation topics range from micro-scale virus movement in mission-critical spaces such as aircraft cabin and hospital operating room, to urban-scale pollution impact analysis and energy demand prediction. Examples are provided to stimulate discussions on proper approaches for improving research and application in each category.
