        2007年2月9日，国家自然科学基金委员会工程与材料科学部会同国际合作局在西安组织专家，对重大国际（地区）合作项目“建筑节能设计的基础科学问题研究”进行了结题验收，这是内地与香港地区科学家在本领域首次开展的合作研究项目。专家组认真听取了课题负责人对研究项目完成情况的汇报，并审阅了项目组提供的验收材料，一致认为，项目组按期全面完成了研究计划，研究工作取得了突出成果，达到了国际先进水平。

　　随着经济的快速发展和城镇化步伐的加快，我国建筑物的采暖、通风与空调能耗飞速增长。为此，国家将建筑节能作为基本国策，并颁布相关政策法规保障建筑节能工作的贯彻实施。在建筑方案设计阶段利用计算机技术进行室内热环境和能耗的全年逐时模拟分析，控制和降低建筑能耗的有效而快捷的方法已越来越被业界认可。拥有能够真实反映我国各地气候特征并适合动态模拟分析的逐时气象参数，是实现建筑节能设计的基础。在国家自然科学基金重大国际（地区）合作项目的支持下，3年多来，以西安建筑科技大学刘加平教授为负责人，由香港城市大学、中国建筑科学研究院共同组成的项目组围绕“建筑节能设计气象参数的确定”进行了深入研究和分析，取得了突出的、创新性的成果：

Stretched across six provinces in north central China are the yaodong cave dwellings. In Chinese, the term (pronounced YOW-DOAN) means an arched tunnel. The earliest yaodongs were caves dug into mountainsides. More recent versions are only partially dug in; they can even be free-standing. But all retain the signature arched front.
