Jing specialises in building environment & enegy system, leveraging international expertise in academia and industry. Now, she focuses more on digital readiness for energy transition, TEDD assessments, emphasizing ESG queries and asset improvement in terms of technical and environmental aspects.
In PED-ACT, my role is s to jointly study and identify co-design strategies for the constituent cities with the goal that the project should be scalable for other PEDs and their "climate neutrality and smart cities" goals.
Technological developments, such as LED lamps, have resulted in a high performance. The next challenge is to manage the overall lighting system more efficiently; to meet the increasing demands and complexity of lighting by combining the visual, biological and emotional benefits of light. We will develop a new strategy, framework, strategies and models for integrated lighting management for urban libraries through digital twins.
My efforts from the built environment side, focus on smart and well-planned solar technology integration in urban areas, rural landscapes, and the energy system, all aimed at advancing sustainability goals.
In this project, we test key enabling methodologies that can help us shape the social innovation that is needed to increase the uptake of technological solutions.
The reuse of building materials is crucial for the conservation of resources and the reduction of GHGs emissions within the circular economy framework. Despite increased awareness, there are few practical examples of reuse of structural building components.In this project, my role is to check how well the reused building framework materials on thermal performance.
