Zero-carbon communities. Carbon" to see the future.
The community is the basic unit of the city.
Zero-carbon community building.
It is an important part of the fight against climate change.
What is a Zero Carbon Community?
The Guidelines for the Construction and Evaluation of Zero-Carbon Communities (hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines") clearly point out the development of green buildings in communities, the innovation of low-carbon technologies, and the promotion of green life. Build an efficient, energy-saving, and recycling system, and through carbon emission reduction and carbon neutrality measures, communities that achieve net carbon dioxide emissions in the region at all stages of community construction, transformation, and operation are zero-carbon communities.
What is the path to building a zero-carbon community?
In order to help urban communities develop a low-carbon economy, innovate low-carbon technologies, change lifestyles, and minimize greenhouse gas emissions, the Guidelines provide guidance for the construction of zero-carbon communities from three aspects.
Activates zero-carbon cells.
Communities should guide residents to redefine the relationship between people and carbon, improve residents' acceptance of zero-carbon life, and then choose zero-carbon lifestyles.
The community can be built and built to manage the carbon use of residents with the support of big data and other technologies.
Carbon data visualization can be combined with relevant incentive mechanisms to encourage residents to actively participate in community carbon activities, and form low-carbon production and life patterns and behavioral Xi.
It is also necessary to take into account the living Xi habits of residents in different communities and the acceptance of low-carbon technologies and products.
Retrofitting zero-carbon units.
The zero-carbon unit is an integral part of the zero-carbon cell, and it is the integration channel between the zero-carbon cell and the community work and life scene. Through the carbon emission survey of the community, the important zero-carbon units of the community are identified.
Observe the distribution of community carbon sources, monitor carbon emissions in real time, analyze and form carbon emission inventories of different zero-carbon units, and improve the management and control capabilities of carbon big data.
Develop carbon reduction pathways and methods that match different zero-carbon units, and then formulate and implement effective carbon neutrality plans to minimize the carbon emissions of the community itself.
At the same time, the transformation of zero-carbon units should also take into account the climate characteristics of the community, the stage of industrial development and the needs of users.
Build a zero-carbon scenario.
The zero-carbon scenario is a collection of different zero-carbon cells and zero-carbon units, which is the zero-carbon transformation of the community itself internally, and the organic integration of the community and the external resources and environment externally, and coexists harmoniously.
It is necessary to formulate comprehensive solutions for the community's energy ecology, industry, public facilities, public life, and cultural inheritance in combination with the construction of zero-carbon communities.
Integrate the flow and management of energy, carbon emissions, and the community with the outside world.
According to different scenarios, the carbon emission reduction targets and progress are tracked, monitored, adjusted and optimized on a regular basis, and the carbon emission reduction targets and measures are continuously optimized on the basis of accurate data analysis.
What are the areas and requirements for building zero-carbon communities?
In terms of construction.
Improve building energy efficiency, promote star-rated green buildings, develop and use new building materials, energy-saving technologies and products, and green and livable design. It is proposed to promote the large-scale development of ultra-low energy consumption and near-zero energy consumption buildings, promote the integrated development of green and low-carbon buildings, ultra-low energy consumption buildings, smart buildings and healthy buildings, and comprehensively promote the reduction of carbon emission sources in the regional building sector.
In terms of transportation.
Use sustainable means of transportation, green and low-carbon travel, and build a slow traffic system. Improving the comprehensive transportation service network, implementing differentiated transportation demand management, cultivating a green travel culture, and strengthening green travel guarantees will help create a high-quality life and promote high-quality development.
In terms of water resources.
It can be used for household water saving, reclaimed water and sewage reuse, rainwater collection and utilization. Water is indispensable in life, and the methods of saving water in the community include recycling, installing water-saving valves for faucets and showers, etc., and calling on residents to implement the responsibility of protecting and saving water resources from the details and daily small things.
In terms of waste.
Resource**, garbage disposal is possible. From the perspective of smart home appliances and home smart energy management, we should establish household carbon asset management capabilities, and form an informatization and intelligent level of household carbon reduction and low-carbon.
In terms of public space.
It can reduce carbon emissions by greening and floating people. Further implement measures to increase power capacity, build charging piles, replace energy-saving equipment, eliminate gas-fired boiler boilers, and deepen green office creation.
In terms of the lives of residents.
It can promote zero-carbon life, form a zero-carbon culture, and develop a circular economy and a sharing economy. For example, introduce low-carbon products to community residents and advocate green and low-carbon travel for residentsResidents were encouraged to change their diets, incorporate more plant-based foods, and respond to Operation Disc.
In terms of carbon offsets.
It can increase the carbon sink of the community and carry out carbon offsets. Planting grass, flowers and trees, the vegetation in the community has the characteristics of large carbon sink, low cost and high ecological added value, which can not only offset carbon, but also help clean air and beautify the environment.
In terms of smart operations.
Build an intelligent system to identify, calculate, monitor, and visualize carbon emissions and flows in the community, so as to intelligently control community carbon reduction.
In terms of community governance.
Community carbon management, cooperation, communication and assessment can be carried out to develop a zero-carbon economy. Through the linkage with community grid management, green travel and other facilities, a zero-carbon interaction between families and communities can be formedThrough the interaction of carbon **, carbon credits, etc., promote the willingness and path of family members to participate in zero carbon for a long time, so as to achieve the effect of zero carbon family as a whole.
Zero-carbon communities are a strong support for carbon reduction in the construction industry. As the "cell unit" of the city, the community is not only the main place for people to work, live and live, but also an important space carrier for the city to practice the concept of carbon neutrality. The construction and implementation of zero-carbon communities is of great significance for controlling carbon emissions from urban buildings and achieving the "3060 dual carbon goal".
