Dr Martin Zhu, a PhD graduate from the School of Energy and Environment and a member of the Green Technology and Finance Development Committee of the HKSAR Government, researches the fundamentals of heat transfer, energy conversion and engineered materials, striving to integrate theory and experimentation to create innovative solutions for thermal management, thermal rectification and energy-efficient building technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Zhu is one of the co-founders of i2Cool Limited, incubated under CityU\u2019s HK Tech 300 <\/a>programme. i2Cool is developing and promoting zero-energy, low-cost, highly efficient passive radiative cooling paint that can save energy and reduce carbon emissions by cooling buildings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The innovative radiative paint was inspired by the Sahara Desert ant. The structure of the surface hair found on these insects can resist the heat of the blazing North African sun. When applied to the exterior wall of a building, this paint simultaneously reflects most of the sunlight and dissipates the building’s heat in the form of mid- infrared radiation, resulting in a significant drop in the building’s surface temperatures and thus leading to decreased indoor temperatures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This patented cooling technology has been designed for use in building and construction, outdoor facilities, and outdoor storage systems. Its market has expanded to Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the United States, making it possible to accelerate the pace of energy-saving technology worldwide. i2Cool is committed to integrating innovative energy-saving technologies into people’s daily lives, promoting sustainable development and economic growth, and moving towards carbon neutrality. Their mission is to alleviate energy shortages, and they are paving the way for a greener future by making energy-efficient technology available to all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

i2Cool\u2019s accomplishments so far include the following: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
