The institute was established under the great background of National “Belt and Road” strategy and the “Double-First Class” university plan. Taking the chance of “West to East Electricity Transmission” strategy and the energy collaboration with B&R countries, the institute vigorously promotes dominant featured disciplines in civil engineering and also encourages cross-disciplinary integration with the support of the world-class Science and Technology Innovation Harbor of Western China. The scientific research covers Structural Engineering, Municipal Engineering, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Engineering, Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, Bridge and Tunnel Engineering, etc. Furthermore, advanced and featured achievements in the research field of Innovative Materials and Structures, Renewable Energy Application Technology, Simulation and Optimization of Air Conditioning System and Automatic Control of Heating Ventilation & Air Conditioning, have been accomplished in recent years.
After the institute settles in the Science and Technology Innovation Harbor, it will not only continue to foster the existing international advanced research fields; but also put more efforts in the newly developed inter-disciplinary fields, such as Intelligent and Environmentally Friendly Construction Materials, Urban Underground Integrated Pipe Corridors, Smart Cities and Digital Construction, Building Energy Conservation and Integration Applications, etc. Taking the challenge of the main battlefield of national economic construction, the target of the institute is to build a top University-Enterprise cooperation and research platform by the collaboration with relevant government departments, enterprises and institutions, and design institutes, and finally to promote the development of local economy and the transition and upgrading of the traditional industries with first-class social services.
