Harmony Empowers, Architecture Takes Off | Smart Architecture Sub-forum Successfully Held

Confronting industry transformation and discussing smart architecture. The Smart Architecture sub-forum of the Harmony Ecosystem Conference 2025, themed "Harmony Empowers, Architecture Takes Off," was successfully held on August 30 at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center in Futian. This forum, based on the national digital development strategy, focused on the deep integration of OpenHarmony technology and the construction industry, attracting experts and scholars from government, industry, academia, research, and application, as well as representatives from leading enterprises in the industry.

Sun Zhifeng, President of the Institute of Environment and Energy at China Academy of Building Research Co., Ltd. and Chairman of Jianke Environment and Energy Technology Co., Ltd., in his opening speech, deeply explained the strategic value of OpenHarmony technology to the transformation of the construction industry. He pointed out that as a smart operating system for all scenarios, OpenHarmony, with its distributed soft bus technology and atomic service capabilities, effectively solves the long-standing problem of data silos in the industry, promoting a qualitative leap of building spaces from "mechanical aggregates" to "organic living entities."

Wang Jingji, Chief of Staff of Huawei's ICT BG "Earth Water Plan," in his speech, said that Huawei is always committed to building an intelligent world of interconnection of all things. Through an open, secure, and interconnected ecosystem, Huawei promotes technological innovation and coordinated industrial development, creating more value for global users and partners. Supporting the continuous development of Harmony is Huawei's core long-term strategic work. Huawei will continue to join hands with partners to jointly create a user-friendly, secure, and reliable smart ecosystem in China.

Zhang Wenting, Assistant General Manager of Wuhan Optics Valley Science and Technology Park Group Co., Ltd., shared the strong strength and strategic vision of Hubei Provincial Technology Investment Group Co., Ltd. as a pioneer in regional development, construction, and operation. The group has built several industrial park projects as the source of Harmony ecosystem, taking the lead in unblocking the full-chain ecosystem of "technology research and development - talent training - scenario application." Hubei Technology Investment Group has rich digital construction scenarios and mature high-tech industrial park carriers, which are the "natural testing fields" for Harmony implementation. At the same time, the Wuhan municipal government has introduced unprecedented special support policies, investing a large amount of funds to help Harmony ecosystem enterprises develop. Finally, Hubei Technology Investment Group extended a sincere invitation: "Hubei Technology Investment Group is willing to join hands with everyone to jointly build a new future of construction Harmony." 

He Ji, CEO of Huawei Campus Force, in his keynote speech titled "Harmony + AI Creates a New Paradigm for Intelligent Space," said that Huawei integrates AI, Harmony, and green technology innovation to create AI Campus, building a fully connected, intelligent, secure, and green future intelligent space. By choosing high-value scenarios and improving the satisfaction of technology, data, and connection, Huawei defines innovative scenario applications for intelligent space such as Harmony office, Harmony energy efficiency, Harmony passage, and Harmony security. Huawei is willing to join hands with industry colleagues to define intelligent space with scenarios, aggregate industrial ecology with regions, incubate standards and norms with alliances, and drive transformation and upgrading with innovation. It aims to achieve technological co-construction, ecological sharing, and commercial win-win, accelerate the implementation of Harmony industry, and build a new benchmark for future intelligent space.

Cao Yong, Vice Chief Engineer of China Academy of Building Research and General Manager of Huaneng Jianke (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd., in his keynote speech titled "Application Practice and Outlook of Building Harmony," systematically explained the technical path and standard system construction of the development of building Harmony. He pointed out that the development of building Harmony needs to build a virtuous cycle of "technology iteration - scenario verification - standard improvement." Through in-depth collaboration among industry, academia, research, and application, it will accelerate the digital transformation and green low-carbon development of the construction field in parallel.

Long Xiaoang, from Shenzhen Hualong Xunda Information Technology Co., Ltd., in his speech on "Innovative Applications and Practices of Harmony Smart Terminals," focused on introducing Hualong Gonghong, a new product developed by Hualong Xunda based on the OpenHarmony system, as well as Hualong PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and Hualong Industrial Control Platform. The core of the solution is based on Hualong PLC equipment as the underlying foundation and Hualong Gonghong as the industrial neuron, achieving an integrated mode of "one cabinet, one screen, one system" in building energy management, improving the level of intelligence and efficiency. This application demonstrates the innovative achievements of Harmony technology in the construction field, has attracted widespread attention in the industry, and provides a practical case for the development of smart buildings.

Wang Gang, General Manager of the Smart Park Business Department of China Software International, in his keynote speech titled "Innovative Applications and Practices of Harmony Smart Parks," deeply analyzed the challenges faced in current smart park construction and introduced an integrated smart park solution based on Harmony + AI. The solution, through the deep integration of Harmony system and artificial intelligence technology, realizes the collaborative management of various types of equipment and services in the park, improving operational efficiency and intelligence level, and provides strong and implementable practices for the industry.

Finally, Sun Zhifeng, President of the Institute of Environment and Energy at China Academy of Building Research Co., Ltd., on behalf of the Director of the GIIC Architecture Committee, officially launched the "Building Harmony Ecosystem Co-construction Initiative" to the participants. He called on all parties in the industry to jointly promote the innovative application and ecosystem construction of Harmony system in the construction field with an open and collaborative spirit, help "Chinese standards become world standards," and jointly promote the leading implementation of Harmony technology in the global construction field.

With this, the Smart Architecture sub-forum of the Harmony Ecosystem Conference 2025 came to a successful conclusion. However, the story of "Harmony Empowers, Architecture Takes Off" continues. In the future, the Harmony ecosystem will continue to join hands with industry partners to promote the digital upgrade and intelligent development of the construction industry, and jointly create a new era of green, smart, and interconnected construction.
