By the end of 2019, China’s total green building area has exceeded 5 billion square meters, accounting for 65% of new urban buildings in 2019
.
According to the relevant action plan, by 2022, the proportion of green building area in new urban buildings will reach 70%
.
The Ministry of housing and urban rural development also announced the winners of the 2020 National Green Building Innovation Award
.
Beijing Daxing International Airport terminal and parking building project, the old industrial zone transformation of Shougang Old Industrial Park ten Winter Olympic Plaza project, 2019 China Beijing World Horticultural Exposition China Pavilion and International Pavilion, Xiong an Civic Service Center, Shanghai Center Tower and other 61 projects won the prize
.
The award-winning projects include residential, office, hospital, school, commercial complex, exhibition hall, airport and other major building types, as well as new buildings and existing building renovation projects
.
China’s green building work started at the beginning of this century, about 30 years later than that of developed countries, but the development process is relatively rapid
.
Up to now, it has basically formed a promotion system with clear objectives, supporting policies, perfect standards, and in place management, so as to achieve international standards
.
Compared with ordinary buildings, what are the characteristics of green buildings? According to the person in charge of relevant departments and bureaus of the Ministry of housing and urban rural development, first, the level of energy conservation is higher
.
By optimizing the thermal performance of building envelope, improving the energy efficiency of HVAC, lighting and electrical equipment, and making full use of renewable energy such as solar energy and geothermal energy, we can effectively reduce fossil energy consumption and reduce building carbon emissions
.
Second, it consumes less resources
.
Through the use of high-strength, high durability materials, promote the application of green building materials, promote the full decoration, prefabricated building and other green construction methods, can effectively reduce the level of building material resource consumption, and drive to reduce the energy consumption of material production and transportation
.
Third, the ecological environment is better
.
Through the efficient and intensive use of land resources, protecting the ecology of the construction site, increasing the green area, we can create a green and livable working and living environment, enhance the ecological carbon sink capacity, and fully sequester carbon and release oxygen
.
Fourth, water saving effect is more obvious
.
By improving the water-saving efficiency of water supply and drainage system, using water-saving appliances and using non-traditional water sources, the consumption of building water resources can be effectively saved
