Thermoelectric Building Modules: Turning Urban Heat into Energy. This project aims to create high-efficiency thermoelectric building modules for thermal energy harvesting. This initiative is poised to bring forth new knowledge in the development and application of thermoelectric materials for construction. The anticipated outcomes include understanding the thermoelectric mechanisms of building materials caused by temperature differences, refining design methodologies, and enhancing application techniques for such materials. This will help to significantly decrease the energy consumption of buildings and alleviate the urban heat island effect, presenting substantial benefits for the nation's urban and built environments.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. Field: 4005 - Civil Engineering. Lead: A/Prof Jingming Cai
