Our research team comprising Prof Henry Chung and two PhD students, Mr Lai Chun Tak and Mr Cheung Yeung Shun, as well as professor and researcher from the Division of Building Science and Technology has developed a smart thermostat for central air-conditioning systems which has been successfully launched onto the market with three patents having been filed. The new invention can help save more than 10% on power and improve indoor comfort levels. Such achievement also aligns with the objectives of the “Energy Saving Plan for Hong Kong's Built Environment 2015~2025+” as mentioned in the latest policy address of the HKSAR government. A press conference was held on 17 October 2017 to introduce this energy and cost saving thermostat to the public.
