About
- Bio:
I joined NRDC in 2008 and moved to our Beijing office in early 2009. But my connection with NRDC started as early as in year 1999, when I participated in the study workshops for China’s first green building demonstration project led by NRDC. Prior to NRDC, I worked with NAHB Research Center for six years as a researcher focusing on residential buildings and managing an energy efficiency housing award program under Department of Energy’s Building America program. I earned my Ph.D. in Building Performance at Carnegie Mellon University and focused on intelligent buildings and commercial buildings. After studying America’s commercial and residential buildings for 12 years, I am glad to move back to Beijing, where I received my master’s degree and taught building science in Tsinghua University. I am experiencing so-called reverse culture shock. Every day, I learn something new, which is a great reason for me to blog.
- Roots in:

- Why "environmentalism" matters:
- I love to travel and always appreciate the beauty of the world. I want to protect nature so that my two little daughters will have a chance to appreciate it in the future.
