Professor Wei Pan, Head of the Department of Civil Engineering, Executive Director of CICID, Director of MiCLab and Director of NetZeroLab, HKU, delivered an invited keynote speech (online) entitled “Low-carbon Modular Integrated Construction” at the International Workshop “Precinct Retrofitting for Decarbonisation” organised by Curtin University, Australia, on 28 April 2025. The Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) approach has been promoted globally with widely demonstrated benefits, including enhanced sustainability. In this keynote speech, Professor Pan first introduced the systematic framework of life cycle carbon modelling for high-rise MiC buildings, then addressed the challenges imposed by climate change, and finally broadened the scope of study by sharing the concept of total factor sustainability to promote the sustainable development of MiC projects.
