Policies to Accelerate the Development of Green Buildings

Recently, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development announced the "12th Five-Year Plan for Green Building and Green Ecological Urban Development" (hereinafter referred to as the "Planning"). It will select 100 new cities to plan, build, and operate according to the standards of the Green Ecological City. From 2014, government-funded party and government agencies, schools, schools, museums, science and technology museums, gymnasiums, municipalities, cities with separate plans, and provincial capital cities have built affordable housing as well as airports with a single building area of ​​more than 20,000 square meters. Large public buildings such as stations, hotels, restaurants, shopping malls and office buildings will take the lead in implementing green building standards. At the same time, we will guide commercial housing to implement green building standards and encourage real estate development companies to build green residential communities. Starting in 2015, new real estate projects in municipalities directly under the Central Government and cities in the eastern coastal provinces and cities will strive to achieve green building standards by more than 50%.

Responsibility experts who have not completed the target mission believe that the "Plan" not only gives green buildings a clear development goal, guiding ideology, implementation path and key tasks, but also puts forward a series of safeguard measures.

For a long time, green buildings seem to be fighting alone. There is no local goal and task, and there are also lack of industry standards and norms. This time, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development has deconstructed the target task to the local level, and it is of great significance to integrate the implementation into the assessment and evaluation system for the energy conservation target responsibility of the local housing urban and rural construction system.

The reporter saw on the official website of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development that: “The units and individuals that have made outstanding contributions shall be honored and rewarded, and the responsibility for the unfinished objectives and tasks shall be investigated.”

In terms of improving laws and regulations, departmental regulations, and technical standards, the "planning" requires strengthening system supervision, implementing a green building review system, establishing a green land transfer system, and implementing a special green building design review system. Industry insiders believe that the front end of the land and design The introduction of the "green concept" at the beginning is a major measure to use the system to promote green building.

The “four establishments” guaranteeing acceleration of green building development plans also emphasizes the establishment of a sophisticated decoration system for buildings, the improvement of green building evaluation marking systems, the establishment of a construction scrapping approval system, and the establishment of a green building professional qualification certification system. This "four establishments" is also a long-term mechanism that guarantees the healthy development and rapid development of green buildings.

In fact, the above-mentioned “to establish a fine decoration system” is an important way to achieve green building and building energy conservation. At present, China’s provinces and cities in this area are Jiangsu, Guangdong and Shanghai, and the enterprises are Wanda and Vanke. Green area. It is reported that Wanda has developed 63 green buildings, Vanke has developed 54 and green space has developed 30, ranking among the top three of the housing enterprises. Most of these green buildings are fine-tuned projects.

After the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development announced the plan, the reporter learned from the Chongqing Municipal Construction Commission that the Green Ecological District in Chongqing is currently on the list among the first eight green eco-city districts identified by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development.

The "specimen" of this green building is located in Chongqing's Liangjiang New Area with a planned area of ​​3.44 square kilometers and a total construction area of ​​approximately 3.15 million square meters. In Yuelai Eco-city, new buildings will implement the National “Green Building Evaluation Standards”, of which more than 30% of the buildings are two-star and above green buildings. In addition, all the household garbage collected here will be classified and collected, and the barrier-free facilities rate will reach 100%.

Promoting Green Construction with Institutional Mechanism Innovation The relevant person of the Chongqing Municipal Construction Commission stated that starting from this year, the new public buildings in Chongqing's main urban area will be the first to enforce the one-star green building standard, and encourage residential buildings and other district and county public buildings to implement one-star green building in advance. standard. During the "12th Five-Year Plan" period, the city will strive to build more than 10 influential green buildings at home and abroad.

In evaluating the "sample" of Chongqing Yuelai Green Ecological City, Ye Zuda, a research fellow at Peking University's Urban Planning and Design Center, said that the introduction of the plan took into account many provinces, regions, cities, and different climate issues. For example, due to different climatic conditions in different regions, both The cost of building renovation is not the same, and the star rating of green buildings is different, and the costs are not the same. Therefore, the allocation of resources of all parties was taken into consideration in the formulation.

In fact, in the "Green Building Action Plan" announced by the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development earlier, even the development relationship between green building and green building materials was taken into consideration. For example, the program clearly states: “We must vigorously develop green building materials that are durable, energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and convenient to construct, accelerate the development of building insulation systems and materials with good fireproofing and thermal insulation properties, promote the innovation of wall materials, and actively support the development of the green building materials industry. , organize the demonstration of industrialization of green building materials.

To this end, Zhang Jun, deputy director of the China Academy of Architectural Design and Research, believes that vigorously promoting and developing green buildings is not only a matter of planning, design, and construction, but also involves the restructuring of building materials and the transformation of building energy-saving industries. In other words, the building materials industry must first do a good job in ensuring materials and provide more new materials for low-carbon and energy-saving applications. This is a relationship between the two industries.

Of course, to promote green buildings, we must also innovate in institutional mechanisms. In this regard, the plan proposes to “proactively promote the general contracting system that takes design as a leader; accelerate the development and formation of a test and evaluation system for green buildings. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen technical industry support, improve economic incentive policies, strengthen capacity building, and conduct propaganda training. ".

The combination of these several policies undoubtedly paves the way for the development of green buildings and allows green buildings to no longer stand alone.
