Raymond Yau, PhD, CEng, FCIBSE, MIMechE, MASHRAE, LEEDTM AP, FHKIE, RPE, is Arup Fellow and Director of Arup Hong Kong. He is a building services engineer and building physicist who specializes in integrated design of sustainable and environmental responsive buildings.
He was one of the pioneers in the UK in mid eighties who adopted the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics and Dynamic Thermal Modelling techniques in built environment applications. He then pioneered the use of such advanced simulation techniques to Hong Kong in early nineties in complex indoor environment and lately developed advanced turbulence modeling for external air ventilation assessment for high rise and high density urban environment.
He was Arup’s project director responsible for leading several pivotal sustainable consulting studies for the HKSAR Government, which have had a strong influence on the development of sustainability in Hong Kong and put Arup in the lead on formulating the roadmap for the local sustainability agenda. These projects include drafting a Comprehensive Environmental Performance Assessment Scheme (CEPAS) for buildings in Hong Kong, similar to the BREEAM in the UK and LEEDTM in the USA, and establishing the life-cycle assessment and database model for building construction in Hong Kong. He is Core Co-investigator of HKSAR Government Study on Urban Climatic Map and Standard for Air Ventilation Assessment.
He led the China’s Hangzhou Xihu Tiandi Phase 2 Development to obtain the world’s first pre-certified LEED – Core & Shell green building label ever at the highest platinum level of performance. He is currently leading the sustainable development and energy supply strategies for the Shanghai Dongtan Eco-City Demonstrator project.
Many of his projects have won Green Building Awards or Sustainability Recognition such as MTR Disney Resort Line Sunny Bay Station, Hong Kong Public Housing on Microclimate Research and LCA/LCC Sustainable Tools for Buildings in Hong Kong.
He is currently Regional Vice-Chair on Technology Transfer of ASHRAE Region XIII.
