Ground-coupled heat pump technologies
The research team is at the international leading level in the field of the ground-coupled heat pump (GCHP) technology. The research achievements were programmed into the national standard of GCHP technology. The research team has been authorized 4 inventive patents, 2 registered program, and wrote one monograph of “GCHP technology” in Chinese and participated in the writing of <Handbook of renewable energy>.
High-efficiency utilization technology of natural gas
The research team has undertaken 3 National Projects of Scientific and Technical Supporting Programs, 1 research project funded by NSFC. Their achievements can provide a useful guideline for high efficiency utilization of natural gas, energy structure adjustment and natural gas infrastructure layout.
Heat and mass transfer and its applications
The research team focuses on the theory of heat and mass transfer of the porous media and its applications in building enclosures. Prof Yu studies the measurement methods for the thermal properties of deep ground soil. 5 research projects supported by NSFC have been carried out.
Building energy conversation and management
The research team led by Prof. Zhang has undertaken 5 state and provincial level projects on the study of the building energy simulation and the development of energy conservation technologies.
