On November 27, the 26th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th People's Congress of Guangdong Province voted and passed the "Guangdong Province Green Building Regulations" (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations"), which will come into effect on January 1, 2021. It is reported that this is the first local regulation formulated by our province to promote the high-quality development of green buildings, improve the quality of human settlements, and mark that the development of green buildings in our province has entered the track of the rule of law.
It is understood that the Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of Guangdong Province has organized the drafting of the Regulations (Draft) since 2018. It took three years to fully investigate and demonstrate, organize legislative hearings, and repeatedly solicit opinions. It was reviewed and approved by the provincial government executive meeting. And the Provincial People's Congress Standing Committee meeting three times. The person in charge of the Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of Guangdong Province stated that the promulgation of the Regulations will help our province fully implement green buildings, improve the quality of urban and rural human settlements, promote the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry, achieve green, low-carbon, and circular development, and promote high-quality economic development. It is of great significance.
The Regulations have 6 chapters and 43 articles, including general provisions, planning and construction, operation and transformation, technological development and incentives, and legal responsibilities and by-laws. The regulations make specific provisions on the comprehensive implementation of green buildings, the implementation of hierarchical management system, strengthening the control of the whole process of green building construction, strengthening the supervision of the whole link operation, introducing a full set of green building incentive measures and strengthening the publicity of green buildings.
Full implementation of green building, the implementation of hierarchical management. The "Regulations" stipulate that "new civil buildings shall be constructed in accordance with green building standards." In the future, in the province, except for farmers' self-built houses, all new civil buildings will meet the basic level or above of green buildings and achieve the goal of "all green". To ensure that the development of green buildings in our province continues to be at the forefront of the country. In addition, the "Regulations" clearly implement a hierarchical management system for green buildings, and put forward hierarchical requirements for different regions and different types of buildings.
Make every effort to create a new highland for green building development in the Greater Bay Area. According to the implementation opinions of the provincial party committee and the provincial government to implement the outline of the development plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, accelerate the development of green buildings and create a high-quality development model, the Regulations put forward higher construction for the nine cities in the Pearl River Delta in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area The requirements will effectively promote the construction of high-star green buildings in our province and lead the Greater Bay Area to become a national and international high-star green building gathering area.
Strengthen construction control throughout the process. Green building has not yet been included in the statutory construction project process supervision, which has been the main reason restricting the high-quality development of green building in our province. In practical work, the phenomenon of "only design, not landing" of green buildings is widespread. To this end, the second chapter of the Regulations regulates the entire process of green building construction, clarifies the responsibilities of each subject in the construction process, and strengthens the design, construction drawing review, construction, supervision, project quality inspection, project acceptance, and green building identification. The whole process is strictly controlled.
Strengthen the operation supervision of the whole link. In view of the problem of "emphasizing design and neglecting operation" of green buildings, the regulations strengthen the supervision and management of the main links of green building operation. The main body of responsibility for the operation of green buildings is clarified, and the specific requirements for the operation of green buildings are put forward from six aspects, and the main links such as property management, energy consumption monitoring, and energy consumption limit management are regulated. In order to ensure the implementation of green building operation measures, the "Regulations" designed a "post-evaluation" system for the operation of green buildings, stipulating that the housing and urban-rural construction departments of the people's governments at or above the county level should implement dynamic supervision of the operation of green buildings. Belongs to the initiative.
Full set of green building incentives. The Regulations clearly stipulate the technical route that the development of green buildings in our province should adhere to, that is: green buildings should adhere to the technical route of adapting measures to local conditions, green low-carbon, and recycling, and inherit, promote and innovate green buildings with Lingnan characteristics and adapt to the subtropical climate. On the basis of technology, a full set of incentive measures such as financial support, floor area ratio incentives, tax incentives, green financial services and provident fund preferential policies have been introduced for green building construction.
to enhance the public's awareness of green building recognition and sense of access. The regulations enhance people's awareness of green buildings by strengthening the publicity, guidance and information sharing of green buildings; by encouraging the construction of green rural houses and sinking government services to the vast rural areas, the regulations enhance people's recognition of green buildings; by standardizing the green transformation of existing buildings, improve the quality of living environment in old residential areas, help urban renewal, and enhance people's sense of green buildings.
The person in charge of the Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of Guangdong Province stated that he will earnestly organize the study, training and publicity of the Regulations, earnestly perform the responsibilities stipulated in the Regulations, and promptly formulate and issue relevant supporting documents to further promote the creation of green buildings Action, take the promulgation and implementation of the "Regulations" as an opportunity to innovate and work hard to comprehensively improve the development level of green buildings in Guangdong Province, to make positive contributions to promoting the high-quality development of urban and rural construction in Guangdong Province.
