Research

Research Interests

Dr. Chen and his research team conduct research on high-performance buildings, such as net-zero energy (ready), focusing on performance modelling, modular design and prefabrication, utilization of renewable energy, and integrated intelligent design and operation.

Research Projects in Progress

  • Modelling, design and operation of building-integrated thermal energy storage;
  • Intelligent design and construction of masonry buildings;
  • Advanced thermal modelling and calculation of effective thermal resistance;
  • Design and data-driven modelling of hybrid heating systems;
  • Energy-efficient community greenhouses for cold-climate regions;
  • Adaptive system identification for predictive control;
  • Integrated design and operation for room thermal conditioning, daylighting, and electric lighting.
