Jiangyi Director, Building Energy Research Center of Tsinghua University, China Yi Jiang is a Professor of Tsinghua University, Head of the Building Energy Research Center, and a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. Prof. Jiang has been a faculty member of Tsinghua University since 1985. He has been involved in a number of international collaboration projects such as IEA (International Energy Agency) Annex 21, 25, 34, 53 and 59. He is also a member of China’s Energy Advisory Committee under the State Council, and a member of China’s Climate Change Advisory Committee. His major research field is building energy efficiency. He is the chief editor of the annual reports of building energy efficiency in China. He received four national science awards for controls of district heating system, liquid desiccant air-process, indirect evaporative cooling, and building energy simulation (De ST).   Da Yan Tenured Professor, School of Architecture, Tsinghua University, China. Professor Da Yan mainly devoted into three fields: (1) Development of building performance simulation toolkit De ST; (2) Research on quantitative description of occupant behavior; (3) Research on building energy consumption model of China and low-carbon and energy-saving related policy. Based on the above research aspects, Prof. Yan has published over 200 pieces of papers, more than ten books and reports and applied over ten patents and software copyrights. He services as Editor-in-Chief Editor of Building Simulation, which is the first SCI journal in the field of building simulation all over the world. In 2019, he was awarded the title as IBPSA-Fellow. In 2018, he was awarded “Best Review Paper” of Energy and buildings. In 2017, he was awarded “Highly Cited Paper Award” of Building Simulation. Shan Hu Assistant Professor, School of Architecture, Tsinghua University, China. Dr. Shan Hu is an assistant profressor of Tsinghua University. Dr. Shan Hu graduated from Tsinghua University in 2018, worked in the Building Energy Group of the International Energy Agency in 2018, and joined the Building Energy Research Center of Tsinghua University in 2020. She is engaged in modeling and policy research related to building energy and climate change. Her main research results include „Annual Development Research Report on Building Energy Efficiency in China“, „China Building Energy Use“, „Building energy use in China“ (joint report with IEA), „The future of cooling in China“ (joint report with IEA (joint report with IEA) and articles in English and Chinese, which are important reference materials for domestic and international understanding of energy consumption and emissions in China“s building sector. Currently, Shan Hu is also the chapter scientist and contributing author of the Sixth Assessment Report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
