Biography
Wu Deng has obtained a PhD from the Faculty of Built Environment (FBE) at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Australia. His PhD research focused on sustainability assessment of China’ urban built environment. He is very familiar with current sustainability debate and particularly specialized in the area of life cycle energy and carbon assessment and management relating to the built environment (e.g. carbon footprint, green building evaluation systems). He is also familiar with the current eco city practice in China (e.g. Tianjin Eco City) and internationally (e.g. Masdar City). Prior to joining UNNC, Dr Deng was a Technical Manager/Lead Consultant at Siemens Corporate Technology China. He led a team to conduct research/consulting projects in the area of green building and sustainable city. His team also provided clients (e.g. local governments, developers, building owners) innovative and practical solutions to achieve their sustainability goals (e.g. energy efficiency, carbon reduction).
