On April 26, 2025, the 3rd International Conference on Green Building (ICoGB 2025) was grandly held in Xi'an, the ancient capital of China, which is rich in history. During the conference, the "Intelligent Habitat Human Factors Center" was officially inaugurated by Xi'an Jiaotong University and Beijing Hengzhi Technology Co. The birth of this industry-university-research collaborative innovation platform not only marks a new progress in the integration of human factors engineering and digital twin technology, but also injects new vitality and strong kinetic energy into the green and low-carbon transformation of urban and rural construction.
Under the joint witness of more than 200 experts at home and abroad, including Xue Zengzhan, Chairman of Shaanxi Civil Engineering and Architectural Society, and Prof. Emilio Faroldi, Vice President of Politecnico di Milano, "Intelligent Habitat Human Factors Center" focusing on the synergistic innovation of "Human Factors Technology" officially landed in Xi'an Jiaotong University (XJTU). The "Human Factors Center for Intelligent Habitat Environment" focusing on the collaborative innovation of "human factors technology" was formally set up in Xi'an Jiaotong University, and Li Jiahua, general manager of Beijing Hengzhi Science and Technology Co. Relying on the new mode of integration of industry, academia and research, the center closely focuses on the industrial layout of human factors engineering, makes every effort to overcome the "neck" technical problems in the field of human environment, and devotes itself to becoming a scientific research highland in this field.
"The establishment of the Center is an important practice to actively implement the 'dual carbon' strategy." Li Jiahua, Director of the Intelligent Habitat Human Factors Center, emphasized in his speech. The two sides will form a joint team of "scientists + engineers" to carry out in-depth cooperation in the direction of intelligent construction, carbon management system construction, digital twin technology application, etc., to promote the industrialization of human factors engineering technology to achieve industrialization, and to build a complete ecological chain integrating technology research and development, results transformation, and talent training.
According to the strategic agreement signed by the two parties, they will implement the mechanism of "School Recruitment Sharing" to attract and educate talents, and jointly build an innovation platform for the integration of industry and education. By integrating the strong scientific research strength of Xi'an Jiaotong University and the excellent achievement transformation ability of Beijing Hengzhi Technology Co., Ltd, we will focus on breakthroughs in key technologies such as optimization of human environment comfort and intelligent construction system integration, forming a benign development pattern driven by the dual-wheel drive of "Innovation Chain-Industry Chain".
As an important result of the Third International Conference on Green Building, the official launch of the "Human Factors Center for Intelligent Habitat" not only shoulders the important mission of solving the problems of green transformation of urban and rural construction, but also creates a new paradigm of cross-border, interdisciplinary, and cross-disciplinary cooperation between industry, academia, and research. With the official landing of "Human Factors Center for Intelligent Habitat", the development blueprint outlined by scientific and technological innovation is moving steadily along the Silk Road Academic Corridor towards the new goal of "zero-carbon building technology system and urban renewal".
