Bin Cao

Tsinghua University

Dr. Bin Cao is an assistant professor within Department of Building Science at School of Architecture, Tsinghua University. He received his Bachelor and Ph.D. of Engineering from Tsinghua University, and earned a distinction for his doctorate thesis on adaptive thermal comfort considering several local factors in China. Prior to his current position, Bin worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Green Buildings and Cities, Harvard University.

Bin’s research mostly focuses on building occupants’ thermal adaptation in relation to the local contexts, including climates, building types, living styles (behaviors), etc. He is also interested in the localized (wearable) devices for personal cooling/heating. Recently, he has started to pay attention to the relationships between thermal condition, comfort and health, by means of chamber experiments as well as field data collections.

Bin is the secretary of IEA-EBC Annex 69, assisting Profs. Yingxin Zhu and Richard de Dear. Meanwhile, he serves as the secretary of Scientific Technical Committee on Thermal Comfort in ISIAQ (International Society of Indoor Air Quality and Climate), and also the assistant director of China Green Building Council - Youth Chapter.
