The State Key Laboratory of Green Building was approved for construction by the Ministry of Science and Technology in March 2023. Focusing on the national major strategic needs of achieving the 'dual carbon' goal in the construction industry and building a healthy and livable urban and rural human settlement environment, the laboratory takes the research, development and promotion of new models, new technologies and new products of green building suitable for different natural and social conditions in China as its main tasks. Adhering to the core philosophy of climate adaptation, local conditions, tradition inheritance and green development for a long time, it continuously seeks action plans and technical paths to reduce carbon emissions and energy and resource consumption of buildings in China.
The laboratory has successively built national-level scientific research platforms such as the Ministry of Education-Province Co-construction Collaborative Innovation Center and the Higher Education Discipline Innovation and Talent Introduction Base ('111 Base'), and has built a distinctive research team with a reasonable echelon level. The team has won the 2023 National Science and Technology Progress Award Second Class, the honorary awards such as 'the First Batch of Huang Danian-style Teacher Teams of the Ministry of Education' and 'Advanced Collective of the National Education System'.
