Professor Junming Li from the Department of Energy and Power Engineering at Tsinghua University and Professor Suilin Wang from the School of Environmental and Energy Engineering at Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture visited the School of Building Services Science and Engineering and the International Joint Laboratory for Cooperative Research to conduct academic exchanges.

First, focusing on the theme "Research on High-Efficiency Dew-Point Evaporative Cooling Systems for Data Center Cooling", Professor Junming Li introduced his team’s research findings on dew-point evaporative cooling systems. Regarding the development of high-efficiency dew-point evaporative cooling prototypes, Professor Li shared key breakthroughs and innovative ideas throughout the process from conceptualization to practical implementation. Meanwhile, by combining specific engineering cases, he conducted an in-depth analysis of the performance of hybrid cooling systems, providing feasible approaches for the transformation of theoretical research into practical applications. Professor Li also emphasized that scientific research should not only focus on scientific rigor but also embrace the spirits of "romanticism" and "idealism". He noted that for some research issues that seem unachievable at present, as long as we continue to explore in accordance with scientific principles, they will surely play a role in relevant industries in the future.

Subsequently, Professor Suilin Wang delivered a report titled "In-depth and High-Efficiency Utilization of Flue Gas Waste Heat Under the Carbon Neutrality Goal". The report covered topics such as opportunities for the efficient utilization of energy through supply-demand coordination, energy-saving potential and challenges in flue gas waste heat utilization, and the R&D and application of key technologies. She pointed out that carbon neutrality represents an opportunity for the development of the energy, environment, and application industries, while energy conservation, efficiency improvement, pollution reduction, and carbon reduction are the key paths to achieve carbon neutrality. Drawing on her own research experience, Professor Wang encouraged students to remain down-to-earth and work diligently when facing bottlenecks and difficulties in scientific research.

In addition, the two professors visited the International Joint Laboratory for Cooperative Research on Low-Carbon Built Environment of the Ministry of Education. They also conducted in-depth discussions and exchanges with the laboratory team on cutting-edge academic topics, including wall-attached ventilation, low-resistance transmission and distribution systems, and environmental safety guarantees for underground spaces in disaster-stricken environments.
