SURΕFIT Project Dissemination: Training at Harbin Institute of Technology, China
As part of the ongoing dissemination efforts for the SURΕFIT Project, academic personnel of AALTO have taken important steps to share knowledge and expertise with future leaders in sustainable building technologies. Recently, a training session was conducted at the prestigious Harbin Institute of Technology in China, involving a large group participants, consisting of both undergraduate and postgraduate students.
Engaging the Next Generation of Innovators
This training aimed to equip students with a deeper understanding of energy-efficient building retrofitting and sustainable practices—key components of the SURΕFIT Project. By leveraging research outcomes and project findings, students gained hands-on insights into the latest advancements in building energy performance and how innovative retrofitting techniques can reduce carbon footprints and improve living standards.
Academic Integration for Broader Impact
The academic personnel involved in the SURΕFIT Project will further extend these materials into their lecture programs, reaching over 100 students at various universities and institutes. This ensures that the impact of the project extends beyond this specific session, fostering a broader understanding of sustainable construction principles within academic circles and future professionals.
Harbin Institute of Technology: A Leading Role in Sustainability
The Harbin Institute of Technology is well-known for its commitment to sustainable development and environmental research, making it the ideal location for this crucial training. Participants engaged in interactive discussions, collaborative workshops, and in-depth case studies, all designed to foster a greater understanding of demand-side management, indoor climate optimization, and the integration of renewable energy sources in building designs.
Looking Ahead
The SUReFIT Project continues to focus on dissemination and education, aiming to ensure that the knowledge gained through the project reaches diverse audiences and creates lasting change. With this recent training in Harbin and the commitment of academic personnel to share the project’s findings in their ongoing teaching efforts, SUReFIT is making significant strides toward a more energy-efficient and sustainable future in the building sector.
