RESEARCH TEACHING AND SERVICES
Research and innovation
As a civil and mechanical engineer, Professor Yang’s research interests center on transformative, interdisciplinary technologies of sustainable civil infrastructures, and the intersection of energy, environment and health. Throughout his career, Prof. Yang has dedicated himself to research that is unique, fills important knowledge gaps, and, most importantly, solves pressing energy and environmental challenges in the real world. His research philosophy is that research topics must come from engineering needs, address fundamental science behind such needs, and guide the engineering work to make a real difference.
Innovations in research
Professor Yang has led more than 80 key research projects covering various aspects of energy and environment in built environment. His first major contribution in research is to utilize nature-based resources and develop innovative technologies to improve rural energy and environment. Globally, 2.6 billion people still lack access to clean energy, including over 300 million from China. Unclean combustion of solid fuels for cooking and heating leads to severe household and atmospheric air pollution, and adverse health impacts. His group leads the development of innovative but highly affordable technologies and assessment methods to improve rural energy and environment, partly reflected by over 70 patents and large-scale applications. Prof. Yang and students invented a cost-effective, ultra-low ambient temperature air source heat pump (can work steadily and efficiently under -35 degree C) to replace coal or natural gas-burning heating stoves in northern China, Mongolia, and Europe. He led the invention of a new semi-gasifier biomass pellet burner that reduces PM and CO emissions by 90% compared to traditional coal or wood stoves, while convenience and thermal efficiency also improved. He advanced new solar photovoltaic and solar air heaters for household use, cutting costs by 50% compared with traditional solar water heaters, while avoiding maintenance issues and freezing risk. He advanced science and technology in low-grade energy storage by developing holistic simulation and optimization tools and constructing China’s largest renewable seasonal thermal energy storage system (with a total thermal energy storage volume 0.5 million m3). These technologies not only create solutions to real world challenges, but also open new avenues for scientific research in the wider field of renewable energy. Household air pollution from biomass and coal burning is a risk factor for elevated blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease which are the leading causes of death in China’s aging population. Supported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Wellcome Trust, and several other funding agencies, he established multi-disciplinary collaborations to study geographical and seasonal differences in human environmental exposure as well as cardiovascular function and health. On-going efforts include assessing environmental and health benefits of the “coal to clean energy” intervention program in China.
Professor Yang’s second major contribution in research is to understand the mechanisms and formulate nature-based solutions for healthy indoor environment. The focus of this cluster is on the measurement, modeling, and control of various air contaminants in built environment considering their interaction with people and the ambient. This research is rooted in fundamental understanding of key mechanisms related to generation and transport processes of air pollutants from different kinds of materials and sources. This covers not only buildings, but also aircraft cabins, trains, car cabins, and other environments. In addition, his group attempts to understand the interaction of air pollutants with human, including sources or sinks that human body may behave in relation to air pollutants and the environment. Since 1990’s, he developed a series of mass transfer-based models for simulating volatile organic compound emissions from building materials. To support these models, he completed experiments to derive fundamental model parameters. Later, his group has made contributions to better understanding the interactions of organic compound with a wide range of sources and sinks. In recent years, his group extended research to study complex source and sink processes of humans. The above efforts led to advancements in conventional emission and exposure models to predict human exposure to toxic chemicals, and standards in material emission testing protocols.
Professor Yang’s team has made contributions to advance the environmental cleaning or remediation by developing innovative technologies. Earlier research was on DNA damage and bactericidal effect of photocatalytic oxidation in relation to indoor environments. Current research has been focused on activated carbon and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for removing indoor fine particles, VOCs and ozone simultaneously. Results indicate that CNTs exhibited higher quality factor, much lower pressure resistance, higher ozone and VOC removal efficiency, and upper-middle particle filtration efficiency. It holds promise to fundamentally restructure the technologies in pollution prevention, treatment, and remediation.
The impact of research to the real world
People spend 80 to 90% of their time in the built environment. Buildings are responsible for over 35% total energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in the world, and yet indoor environments are largely uncomfortable, unhealthy, and unsustainable. Poor indoor air quality is claiming millions of lives in the world annually. Professor Yang’s group has been working hard to understand research questions deeply, formulate research problems out of the real-world challenges, and provide practical solutions. He works with engineers, architects, energy experts, health scientists to understand the basic sciences and formulate holistic, nature-based solutions. He also works with industry, policy makers, designers, and other stakeholders to develop codes and standards, and bring the research results to practices. Till now, a lot of people have benefitted from their research results through reduced energy consumption and improved environmental quality and health.
For more than three decades, Prof. Yang’s research team takes the pride in bringing cutting edge research results to the real world. Research outcomes have been transformed into engineering products, standards, design tools, policy support materials, and implemented in engineering practices. His group has been developing strategies and technical solutions to achieve sustainable rural communities. He first proposed the concept of “zero coal, sustainable rural communities” in China, and developed a systematic approach to achieve that goal. He led development of China’s first Rural Building Energy Design Standard, among others, to promote wide adoption of energy and environment retrofitting in rural buildings. Over 27 million households have replaced their coal burning heating/cooking stoves by cleaner alternatives. The promotion of clean energy technologies in China rural has contributed significant reduction of PM2.5 and CO2 emissions and could avoid 300,000 annual premature deaths in China alone. The work has been reported by Nature (Kicking the coal habit, Nature, Vol 454, 2008), China Central Television, PBS, Wall Street Journal, and many other news media outlets. He developed an integrated simulation tool (ACCESS-IAQ) for evaluating pollutant transport and exposure in actual built environments. The tool has been adopted as a pre-assessment design standard to actively prevent indoor air pollution in buildings, cars, trains, and aircraft cabins. Many users have utilized this method as a performance-based simulation tool in their projects, totaling over 10 million m2 building floor area so far. He worked with the leading commercial aircraft manufacturer to develop the first target air pollutant list, VOC source database, and modeling tool for better selection of cabin materials and services.
Teaching and mentoring
Prof. Yang particularly enjoys teaching and interacting with students. He is devoted to a clear, systematic, and focused teaching style and believes in project-based learning. He maintains the interactions and discussions with students in and out of the classroom, so their learning motivation can be aroused, and their problems can be handled.
At the University of Miami, Prof. Yang took a leading role reorganizing and redesigning several key courses in both undergraduate and graduate levels. Courses he taught in the Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering department cover Building Environmental Systems, Advanced Building Environmental Systems, Air Pollution Control Engineeting, Heating Ventilation, Air Conditioning, Energy-Efficient Building Design, and Indoor Environmental Modeling. Students in these courses used advanced computational tools to solve engineering problems. At Tsinghua University, he has been teaching such core courses as Fluid Mechanics (sophomore), Fluid Transport System (junior), and Immunized Building Technologies (graduate, taught in English). In 2011-2012, Prof. Yang co-led a joint course between Harvard University and Tsinghua titled Sustainable Buildings.
In his capacity as the deputy director of the Institute of Built Environment at Tsinghua University, Prof. Yang actively engages in organizing major educational activities such as the curriculum development, China-Japan-Korea graduate students’ annual seminar exchanges, and the national Ph.D. supervisors’ conferences in the built environment. He is a strong advocate to internationalize graduate education in China, particularly the graduate curriculum and research training. He led a major department-level curriculum reform project in developing several All-English-Teaching graduate courses at Tsinghua.
On graduate student and postdoc supervision, Prof. Yang has been an advisor to 36 Ph.D. students, 23 M.S. students, and 19 postdoctoral research fellows (78 total). His students are highly sought after by top universities, national laboratories, research institutions, and industry.
