The School welcomed Chongqing University researcher He Baojie/PhD supervisor to make a special invited report on the issue of "Urban High Temperature Response Strategy" on the afternoon of April 4. The lecture was presided over by Professor Lu Jiang of the Institute of Green Building and Low-carbon City, who was joined by Zou Baoping, Vice Dean, Wu Degang, Deputy Director of the International Department, as well as young instructors and graduate and undergraduate students from the college. The thirteenth edition of our institute's "Midday Mountain Forum" is this scholarly study.
Professor He Baojie opened with the understanding of urban high temperature mitigation adaptation strategies and decision-making models, urban climate and building energy conservation as the research direction, combined with his own work experience, introduced the international sustainable urban development goals, built the urban high temperature evaluation index system, proposed the high temperature mitigation urban planning/design strategy, created cool cities/cool communities, and displayed the urban climate resilience intelligent platform and optimal decision support tools for cooling strategies developed by the team. Briefly describe the team's scientific research achievements in international urban climate conferences and important academic journals at home and abroad.
In the Q&A session, researcher He Baojie answered the questions raised by young teachers and students about the economic problems that high temperatures will lead to reduced crop yields and labor efficiency, the phenomenon of population migration under high temperature and the improvement of urban microclimate comfort.
The lecture stimulated the spirit of scientific research and exploration of our teachers and students, and made everyone have a deeper understanding and strong interest in urban high temperature coping strategies. The lecture ended with a round of applause.
He Baojie, Ph.D., is a researcher at Chongqing University's School of Architecture and Urban Planning, a doctoral supervisor, the director of the Center for Climate Resilience and Low-carbon Cities, a researcher at Hiroshima University's Institute of Sustainable Development and Peace Education, and a highly cited scientist (Clarivate). He works on adaptation to urban high temperatures due to global/local climate change, zero-energy buildings, and passive home design. He has over 120 articles published in high-level SCI and SSCI publications, and he has given oral presentations at numerous prominent conferences. More than ten energy and built environment research projects in China and Australia have been completed. He has been invited to serve as the feature editor-in-chief, chief guest editor, associate editor, editorial board member, and special reviewer of more than ten internationally renowned journals (such as Energy and Buildings, Sustainable Cities and Society, Urban Climate). Winner of the Young Scientist in Sustainable Development Award 2022 and the Green Talent Award in 2021 (Germany). In 2020, 2021 and 2022, he was continuously shortlisted for the world's top 2% scientists.
