The Energy Conservation and Efficiency Enhancement Intelligent Technology and Equipment Engineering Research Center of the Ministry of Education is an engineering research center established by Tsinghua University. It focuses on the current situation of "low efficiency, high energy/material consumption, poor product and service quality, low product added value, and serious environmental pollution" in industries such as chemical, power, microelectronics, steel, biological manufacturing, medicine/medical, light industry, new energy, and equipment manufacturing in China, With the goal of achieving energy conservation and efficiency enhancement, we will conduct research and development of key technologies and equipment, engineering verification, and achievement transformation in the fields of process simulation and optimization design, intelligent detection and control, optimization of the entire production process operation, clean utilization of low-grade energy, and intelligent equipment design and development for energy conservation and efficiency enhancement through interdisciplinary and close cooperation between industry, academia, and research. This center can provide technical support for improving the level of intelligent technology and equipment for energy conservation and efficiency enhancement in China, promoting the further realization of energy conservation, consumption reduction, emission reduction, quality improvement and efficiency enhancement, and transforming the economic growth mode in relevant industries in China.

The center's internal supporting departments are the Department of Automation at Tsinghua University, and the co established departments include the Department of Energy and Power Engineering, the Department of Machinery, and the School of Materials. The center mainly relies on four national first level key disciplines, including Control Science and Engineering, Power Engineering and Engineering Thermophysics, Materials Science and Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering.
