CPD Webinar - Green Technologies for a Healthy Living Environment（只供英文版）
The webinar recording will be available at HKGBC CPD Online Training Portal (https://onlinecpdtraining.hkgbc.org.hk/) later after the event.
This webinar is organised by the Hong Kong Green Building Council.
Environmental health technologies are essential for enhancing the life and wellbeing of building occupants while supporting climate neutrality goals. The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology’s research provides green and sustainable solutions to indoor air quality, water management and circular net-zero waste management. In this webinar, the following new technologies will be introduced:
- Advanced air disinfection and purification technologies (e.g. catalytic nanofibers) that filter particulates, kill microorganisms and remove gaseous pollutants to prevent disease transmission and safeguard health;
- Building water management technologies, including Malodor Control (MOC) Hydrogel for controlling odour-causing microorganisms; and Controlled-Release Antimicrobial Hydrogel for decreasing microbial (including COVID-19) viability in toilet flushing water;
- Net-zero circular technologies, including zero-energy dehumidification and water harvesting technology, NanoDeW, for indoor cooling; as well as technology for treatment of fat, oil and grease and their recovery for recycling.
