  2. Green Innovation Research Group (GIRG) is a research group focusing on studies of relationship between greenery and built environment for the comfort and sustainability of man’s living environment. Its research agenda involved with development of new methods to integrate the attributes of greenery with the needs of man for better living. The group values the human beings are a part of ecosystem that is coexisted with the elements of landscape. Hence, GIRG’s research composed of fundamental and experimental studies utilising the knowledge of science and technology to find practical, long term solutions to the social, economy and environmental problems. GIRG works in close collaboration with researchers from various disciplines in the built environment system such as landscape architecture, architecture, urban planning, environmental design, environmental psychology and urban sociology.

  3. Objectives of GRIG • To contribute a sustainable form of green environment through innovative research activities pertaining to needs of community, climate and environment; • To provide a research network collaboration between GIRG and other universities, researchers, and private agencies; • To supervise postgraduate studies on five research areas, namely, vertical greenery, urban morphology, landscape and microclimate, architecture and human comfort, and children’s environment; • To perform fundamental and applied research aimed at improving knowledge and productive techniques concerning the various sectors of built environment; and • To set up policies on sustainable development by engaging researchers, professionals, and policy makers.
