The 12th Macau Industrial Products Show, organised by the Industrial Association of Macau, is being held from 8 to 11 October 2026 at the Macau Fisherman's Wharf Convention and Exhibition Centre. MUST Zero, a zero-carbon smart campus system independently developed by Macau University of Science and Technology (MUST), is on display at the event. Live demonstrations and video presentations highlight MUST's research achievements in smart carbon management, green buildings and campus sustainability.

Using the MUST campus as a real-world application setting, MUST Zero combines Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and digital twin technologies. It brings together carbon emissions accounting, real-time greenhouse gas monitoring, emissions forecasting, green building information and life cycle assessment to support campus emissions monitoring, accounting, visualisation and management. The platform also incorporates data on water use, electricity consumption, waste and green mobility, enabling multi-source analysis and the automated generation of campus sustainability reports.
For forecasting and decision support, the system simulates emissions trajectories from 2020 to 2060 under baseline, low-carbon and carbon-neutrality scenarios. It assesses the emissions reduction potential and cost-effectiveness of measures such as power-sector decarbonisation, solar photovoltaics and green mobility. The platform also provides a digital presentation of the green building certification achievements, energy performance and energy-saving technologies of MUST's Academic Complex (Block R), which has received a Platinum rating under BEAM Plus Existing Buildings (Global Version).

During the exhibition, Chair Professor Jian-Kang Zhu, President of MUST, visited the booth. Associate Professor Dong Yahong, Director of the Macao Institute of Green and Net-Zero Technology, introduced the system’s key functions and progress in its application. President Zhu offered guidance and exchanged views on further technological development and wider deployment of the system.

The exhibition demonstrates MUST's practical achievements in applying green and net-zero technology research to campus management. The Macao Institute of Green and Net-Zero Technology will continue to improve MUST Zero and explore its application in universities, smart parks, public buildings and communities. These efforts will promote the translation of research into practical applications and provide technical support for green and low-carbon development in Macao and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
