On December 31, 2023, Sun Zhenqing, Dean of the Institute of Carbon Neutrality of Tianjin University of Science and Technology, and the person in charge of Huade Smart Brand were guests on the "News This 1 Moment" column of Tianjin TV Station to jointly promote Tianjin's green and low-carbon development actions and innovative green and low-carbon technologies.
The column is divided into three themes: the policy background of the implementation of green and low-carbon development actions, a number of measures to help the green and low-carbon development of the construction industry, and the achievements of the sustainable development of building a beautiful Tianjin. At the beginning of the column, he talked about the key point of achieving a comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development - energy conservation and carbon reduction.
To save energy and reduce carbon emissions, we must focus on key industries. Professor Sun pointed out that the energy consumption of buildings in China accounts for about 21% of the total energy consumption, which is higher than that of transportation and lower than that of industry. Energy conservation in building operation is a key area to achieve green transformation of economic and social development. The important measures for green development introduced by Tianjin have proposed to promote the demonstration and application of advanced green building technologies to help promote the improvement of the city's comprehensive energy efficiency.
In the field of building energy segmentation, since 2021, various localities have successively introduced new policies on energy contract management.
In the past, the contract energy management service time requirement was no more than 5 years, and at that time, it was basically operation and maintenance services. In 2021, the state issued a new policy on contract energy management, extending the service time to 5-10 years, giving investment space in contract energy management, and at the same time agreeing on the energy-saving rate, so that the previous simple operation and maintenance services can be transformed into professional energy-saving services, promote the development of energy-saving technologies, and allow energy-using units and energy-saving companies to share benefits. The rollout of EPC has been accelerated. The person in charge of Huade smart brand said.
The moderator pointed out that in addition to policy support, the green and low-carbon development of the construction industry is also inseparable from the empowerment of science and technology. The person in charge of Huade Smart Brand said that the comprehensive energy management platform jointly developed by the company and professors from Tianjin University realizes the monitoring of water, electricity, gas, cold and heat in the process of building operation, realizes energy data visualization, intelligent energy management, and automatic operation strategy. The platform has been recommended by the State Administration of China for green and low-carbon technology assessment and the Tianjin Municipal Administration of Government Affairs.
To achieve the "dual carbon strategy", it is not only necessary to provide policy guidance, but also to take the initiative of enterprises to implement policies in place, and talent training is also an important part. Professor Sun cited the documents issued by the Ministry of Education for human resource development and the short-term goals. The Ministry of Human Resources has also added carbon-related occupations, and universities have also added majors such as carbon neutrality and energy management, carbon neutrality and carbon finance.
In terms of talent co-cultivation of enterprises, Huade Wisdom pays attention to industry-university-research cooperation, cooperates with professional counterpart universities, and signs the "Cooperation Agreement on Specialized Industry-Education Integration Base" with Tianjin Institute of Technology to jointly build a high-level industrial Internet professional group in Tianjin, develop a talent training program for professional groups, and formulate a feasible talent training program. Huade Wisdom served as the first executive vice chairman of the "Smart Energy Industry Industry-Education Integration Community", and signed a cooperation project with Tianjin Urban Construction Management Vocational and Technical College of "Green Carbon Integrated Energy Digital Cloud Control" and "Urban Construction College-Huade Smart Training Center".
In September 2023, Huade Energy Technology Research Institute was registered and established, which will continue to export professionals in the field of digital energy in China, and the research results will continue to inject new momentum into the digital development of energy and promote the ecological development of scientific and technological innovation.
Focusing on the integration of production, education and research, Huade Wisdom has established a good cooperation ecology with universities, design institutes, geothermal institutes, industry contract partners, carbon emission exchanges, and downstream hardware equipment suppliers, actively carried out cooperation with industry experts, applied advanced technology to product research and development, drove the development of the industrial chain economy, and jointly promoted green and low-carbon development.
