The Network will link academic researchers and industrial partners in the UK, China and Japan whose common goal is to further the advance of new energy conserving technologies for heating and/or cooling that can make a serious impact on the emissions that lead to global warming. The technologies are diverse but linked; they all involve the 'smart' manipulation of heat flows. They include such possibilities as air conditioning (a major energy consumer worldwide) driven by solar energy or waste heat, the use of advanced techniques for hot or cold storage to reduce demand or improve efficiency of use, etc.By including industrial partners and by having a strong representation from both Japan and China (major and growing users of energy), we intend to accelerate the take-up of these new ideas in the economies where they will have the maximum impact. The Network quite deliberately hosts a range of thermal technologies and seeks synergies between them. In a series of workshops, in addition to reporting academic research, there will be a strong emphasis on solving the challenges that the industrial partners see as most pressing without any preconceptions as to which technology or combination of technologies will be most appropriate.In addition the network will sponsor medium term (one month) visits between partners in different countries. For younger researchers there will be particular benefits in terms of broadening experience and training as well as the participation in a particular project.

该网络将把英国、中国和日本的学术研究人员和工业合作伙伴联系起来，他们的共同目标是进一步推进新的供暖和/或制冷节能技术，从而对导致全球变暖的排放产生严重影响。这些技术多种多样，但相互关联;它们都涉及对热流的“智能”操纵。它们包括空调等可能性（全球主要的能源消费者），利用太阳能或废热，使用先进的热或冷储存技术，以减少需求或提高使用效率等，通过包括工业合作伙伴和来自日本和中国的强大代表（主要和不断增长的能源用户），我们打算在这些新想法将产生最大影响的经济体中加快采用这些新想法。该网络相当有意地托管一系列热技术，并寻求它们之间的协同作用。在一系列的研讨会中，除了报告学术研究之外，还将重点关注解决工业合作伙伴认为最紧迫的挑战，而不对哪种技术或技术组合最合适有任何先入为主的看法。此外，该网络还将赞助不同国家的合作伙伴进行中期（一个月）访问。对于年轻的研究人员来说，在扩大经验和培训以及参与特定项目方面将有特别的好处。
