Ngenyanga edlule, amalungu angama-30 e-Chinese National Building Waterproof Association, emele abakhiqizi bophahla baseShayina, kanye nezikhulu zikahulumeni waseShayina beza eBerkeley Lab bezokwenza umhlangano wosuku ophahleni olupholile. Ukuvakasha kwabo kwenzeke njengengxenye yephrojekthi enophahla olupholile ye-US-China Clean Energy Research Centre ¡ª Building Efficiency Efficiency. Ababambiqhaza bafunde ukuthi izinto zokufulela ezipholile kanye nezinto zokugandaywa zinganciphisa kanjani ukushisa kwesiqhingi sasemadolobheni, zinciphise ukwakha imithwalo yesiphephetha-moya, futhi zinciphise ukufudumala komhlaba. Ezinye izihloko zazihlanganisa uphahla olupholile e-US ukwakha izindinganiso zokonga ugesi, kanye nomthelela ongaba khona wokwamukelwa kophahla olupholile e-China.
