About CSET
Introduction
简介
Centre for Sustainable Energy Technologies (CSET) was officially opened in September 2008. It is located at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC). It is led by the Faculty of Science and Engineering. Its unique architectural design embodied with low carbon strategy helps it received national and international awards. The CSET building demonstrates the recent techniques for environmentally responsible and sustainable construction as an exemplar building. It has attracted and welcomed thousands of guests, including central and local government officials, enterprise leaders, scholars, and students.
可持续能源技术研究中心（CSET）于2008年9月正式成立。它坐落在宁波诺丁汉大学校园内，隶属于理工学院。因其建筑结构独特，并蕴含低碳理念，在当年使它荣获数个国内外建筑大奖。作为一幢示范楼，它展示了当今世界多项环保，可持续建筑领域的技术，由此吸引了数千人前来参观，其中包括中央及地方政府官员，企业领导，学者和学生。
