Mr. Jinbo Feng | Environmental and Sustainable Materials | Best Researcher Award

Shenzhen University | China

Mr. Jinbo Feng is a researcher in architecture at Shenzhen University, China, whose work focuses on sustainable building design, environmental comfort, and material innovation. His research integrates architectural theory with environmental technology, emphasizing thermal comfort optimization, self-insulating concrete development, solid waste recycling, and bionic design for marine ecological restoration. He has co-authored peer-reviewed studies, including the SCI Q2 article “Climate-Responsive Design for Sustainable Housing: Thermal Comfort, Spatial Configuration, and Environmental Satisfaction in Subtropical Void Decks” published in Buildings, and presented at the 16th International Conference on Environment-Behavior Studies (CEB-ASC) on residents’ perception of settlement spaces. His ongoing projects involve the thermal comfort study of overhead spaces in subtropical residential buildings, finite element modeling of thermal and mechanical behavior in insulating blocks, and bionic polymer reef design under the Shenzhen–Hong Kong Joint Funding Programme. Recognized with the Shenzhen University Special Award Scholarship and other academic honors, Feng demonstrates a strong commitment to advancing low-carbon, resource-efficient architectural solutions. His work contributes to bridging the gap between design aesthetics, engineering functionality, and environmental sustainability, promoting innovative strategies for climate-responsive architecture in rapidly urbanizing subtropical regions.
