Research Directions of the Hong Kong Center
In response to the challenges facing the construction industry (such as aging, low efficiency, and high pollution), we focus on breaking through the major bottlenecks of digital construction management and realizing digital-driven refined control of the entire construction process and all elements, which includes six key technical goals:
Smart building generative design
Automatic architectural design method, intelligent generative design technology for sustainable, low-carbon and other standards
Precast component smart manufacturing
Breakthrough in the technical difficulties of intelligent manufacturing and remote quality inspection and certification of prefabricated parts based on the integration of artificial intelligence, robots and distributed consensus mechanism
Construction supply chain smart tracking
Overcome the complex management challenges of building supply chain elements and develop core technologies for smart building IoT tracking and resilient supply chain
Smart jobsite and construction management
Research on theories and methods of smart construction, and develop key technologies for smart construction based on human-machine collaboration
Smart facility management
Smart building operation and maintenance, facility operation management based on digital technology and artificial intelligence
Life cycle digital management platform
Build a digital integrated management platform for the entire life cycle of construction projects
