同济大学建筑与城市规划学院建筑技术方向的发展，经历了从建筑构造发轫，向建筑声学、建筑光学的拓展，到迈向节能低碳技术、空间环境技术、数字建造技术和历史建筑保护技术等新领域的三个阶段。

1952年院系调整，历任建筑系主任黄作燊、吴景祥、冯纪忠等先生的主导下，建筑技术方向形成了以建筑构造为重点的教学研究体系；傅信祁教授等在此基础上带头编写《房屋建筑学》教材，从上世纪80年代首版至今发行超过百万册；建筑系还曾建立工业建筑教研组，对相关工艺技术和结构维护技术的结合进行了探索。我国建筑声学学科创始人之一王季卿先生， 于20世纪50年代在同济创立了建筑声学的教学体系，注重理论与实践的结合，并于1956年设计建造了我国第一个混响室和隔声试验室，建立了国内第一个建筑声学实验平台，填补了国内空白；另外，我国重要的建筑光与照明、环境心理学和人类工效学研究的先驱和开拓者杨公侠先生，创立了系统的建筑光与照明教学体系，建设了我院也是全国最早的光环境实验室，开创了从心理学和工效学角度研究建筑照明的新路径，奠定了建筑光环境领域在我国建筑教育界举足轻重的学术地位。两位先生的突出贡献为学院建筑技术学科的发展奠定了坚实基础。

改革开放之后，建筑系与物理系合作，共建了了建筑声学实验室，平行招收研究生。建筑光学则结合大型基础设施的建设，开展了一系列实证性试验，发表高水平论文。1986年建筑与城市规划学院成立；20世纪90年代，戴复东教授等倡导以环境观为基础的建筑教学理念，在绿色节能、高新技术、室内环境技术等方面谋篇布局。1999年，创立同济大学“高新建筑技术设计研究所”，积极推动建筑技术科学方向的发展。

进入新世纪，学院以吴志强教授为代表，提出“生态城市、绿色建筑、数字设计、遗产保护”四大发展方向，全面推进建筑技术的新发展。在数字建造技术、室内外环境技术、绿色节能技术、历史建筑建筑保护技术等方面发展迅速，并于2016年钱锋教授牵头成立了“建成环境技术中心”；涌现出袁烽、郝洛西、戴仕炳、徐磊青、石邢教授等中青年学科带头人。学院特邀刘加平院士、康健院士、谢亿民院士、门格斯教授、布鲁赫教授、舒马赫建筑师等担任兼职教授或客座教授、顾问教授。

In active response to China's dual carbon strategy and the development concept of green growth, Tongji University restructured its Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) discipline, originally under the School of Mechanical Engineering, and integrated it into the College of Architecture and Urban Planning (CAUP). This move led to the formal establishment of the Department of Building Technology Science, marking a significant new phase in the college's disciplinary development.

The HVAC discipline at Tongji University boasts a long and illustrious history. In 1948, the university president invited the technical director of shanghai international hotel to establish the Equipment Teaching and Research Section, initiating the discipline's development. Over the years, it has nurtured numerous outstanding talents, including prominent scientists and renowned educators in the field. The discipline has made remarkable contributions to the environmental control design and optimization of many major national projects, as well as to key technological breakthroughs in special artificial environments, establishing itself as one of the leaders among China's top institutions in this field.

The development of building technology at CAUP has undergone three stages. It started with Building Construction, expanded into Architectural Acoustics and Optics, and then advanced into new fields such as Energy-saving and Low-carbon, Digital Fabrication, Heritage conservation technologies. Early contributors laid a solid foundation in these areas. After the reform and opening, the college actively made strategic arrangements in green energy conservation and other areas. In the new century, it proposed four major development directions, including ecological cities, green buildings, digital design, and heritage conservation, successfully achieving fruitful results.

This disciplinary restructuring underwent multiple rounds of discussions and demonstrations, incorporating opinions from various stakeholders to form a scientific and forward-looking integration plan. The newly established Department of Building Technology Science will focus on cutting-edge areas such as sustainable building environments and energy systems. It aims to build a new disciplinary ecosystem, cultivate top-notch innovative talents, and train professionals capable of leading the future development of architectural technology.
