**Abstract:** On July 30, 2013, the Ministry of Education's Innovation Team in Building Energy Conservation and Architectural Environmental Science, based at Tsinghua University, successfully passed its evaluation. The team, led by Academician Jiang Yi of the Department of Building Technology Science at Tsinghua University's School of Architecture, presented a comprehensive report on the achievements made since its establishment in 2010. The evaluation was conducted by a panel of experts, including Professor Liu Jiaping, an academician from the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a professor at Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology, who praised the team for its significant contributions in various areas. The team has been actively engaged in cutting-edge research, addressing major issues in the field of building energy conservation and architectural environmental science. Their work has not only advanced academic knowledge but also contributed to practical solutions for energy efficiency, environmental sustainability, and the creation of healthy and comfortable living spaces. The experts highlighted the team's progress in team building and development, innovation capabilities, social contributions, and the integration of teaching and research. They also noted the team's success in platform construction and operational management. A notable achievement of the team is the international recognition of the academic journal "Building Simulation," which has been indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI). This accomplishment underscores the team's growing influence in international academic platforms such as the International Energy Agency's Energy in Buildings and Communities Programme (IEA-EBC) and the International Organization for Standardization's Technical Committees 163 and 205 (ISO TC163/TC205). The journal's inclusion in the SCI is a clear indicator of the team's commitment to high-quality research and its ambition to become a leading international player in the field of building energy conservation and architectural environmental science. The team's research has covered a broad range of topics, including the study of building energy conservation and environmental science in the context of China's specific conditions, the relationship between humans and the built environment, theories of architectural environmental creation, building environmental systems and equipment, and urban energy systems. They have undertaken numerous significant projects, including those funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Ministry of Science and Technology's 11th and 12th Five-Year Plan for major or key research topics, and have published a variety of academic works, textbooks, and SCI journal papers. Additionally, the team has secured several patents and received numerous national and provincial-level science and technology awards. Their research has also generated substantial economic benefits and has been instrumental in training a new generation of high-level professionals in the field. The team is composed of a dynamic group of researchers, including 9 professors (one of whom is a foreign national), 8 associate professors, and 2 lecturers, all of whom hold doctoral degrees. Among the team members are distinguished individuals such as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, a Beijing Teaching Master, 5 recipients of the Ministry of Education's New Century Talent Program, and 3 recipients of Tsinghua University's Academic Newcomer Award. This composition reflects the team's commitment to fostering a diverse and highly skilled research environment. The evaluation meeting was attended by Tsinghua University School of Architecture Dean Zhuang Weimin, Professor Zhang Yunping, Professor Li Xianting, and other key members of the innovation team. The attendees engaged in detailed discussions with the evaluation experts, further demonstrating the team's collaborative and transparent approach to research. The successful passing of the evaluation marks a significant milestone for the team, recognizing their contributions to both academic and practical advancements in building energy conservation and architectural environmental science. The team's ongoing efforts are expected to continue to drive innovation and excellence in these critical areas, contributing to the sustainable development of the built environment and the overall well-being of society.
