ClearVue Adds 20-Year ESG and Data Centre Specialist to Board Ahead of Scale-Up
ClearVue appoints ESG and building technology specialist to board
ClearVue Technologies (ASX: CPV) has announced the appointment of Andrew Lau as Non-Executive Director, effective 23 March 2026. Lau brings more than 20 years’ experience across the built environment, sustainability and energy transition sectors throughout the Asia-Pacific region, positioning the board to support the company’s commercial scaling efforts in institutional real estate and data centre markets.
The appointment signals board strengthening as ClearVue transitions toward commercial execution of its building-integrated solar technology. Lau currently leads ESG advisory initiatives for Colliers across major markets including Greater China, Japan, Korea, Singapore and South-East Asia, providing institutional credibility as the company targets asset owners, developers, REITs and financiers.
Technical expertise aligned with ClearVue’s product strategy
Lau’s engineering background combines building design and performance optimisation with technical capability directly relevant to ClearVue’s strategic objectives. He has recently completed specialist training and accreditation in building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) and energy-resilient design for data centres, aligning with two of ClearVue’s priority market segments.
His experience advising on large-scale commercial assets and mission-critical infrastructure operating in energy-constrained, high-demand environments positions him to provide technical guidance as ClearVue scales its energy-generating building envelope solutions. Data centres represent a particularly relevant vertical, given their intensive energy requirements and increasing focus on on-site renewable generation.
Key competency areas include:
- ESG strategy and carbon reduction frameworks
- Renewable energy integration in building systems
- Smart building technologies and operational performance
- Data centre infrastructure and energy resilience

What is building-integrated photovoltaics?
Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) refers to solar technology embedded directly into building materials such as glass, cladding or roofing, rather than installed as separate rooftop panels. Unlike traditional solar installations that sit on top of existing structures, BIPV systems form part of the building envelope itself.
ClearVue’s technology applies this concept to transparent surfaces, using patented glass that maintains visual clarity whilst generating electricity from solar energy. The approach addresses both energy generation and architectural design requirements, allowing buildings to produce renewable power without compromising aesthetics or natural light transmission.
CEO signals confidence in commercial trajectory
Chief Executive Officer Doug Hunt framed the appointment as validation of the company’s strategic progress and technology credibility.

Andrew’s experience will be highly valuable as we move into our next phase of commercial execution.”
