Recently, the Chinese Society for Environmental Sciences released the first domestic standard for the identification of emission reductions in public buildings - "Technical Specifications for the Identification of Carbon Emission Reductions in Comprehensive Carbon Reduction and Renovation Projects of Public Buildings" (TCSES 128-2023), which has attracted widespread attention. The formulation of this standard aims to promote the development of carbon reduction and renovation projects for public buildings, and encourage all walks of life to take more active measures to reduce carbon emissions after the carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals are proposed.
As one of the important means of emission reduction, the calculation time point of emission reduction of public building carbon reduction renovation project has become a controversial issue. After the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality was proposed, all walks of life are actively taking measures to reduce carbon emissions, and the carbon reduction and renovation projects of public buildings have attracted much attention. According to the Technical Specifications for the Identification of Carbon Emission Reductions for Comprehensive Carbon Reduction and Renovation Projects of Public Buildings, the emission reductions of carbon reduction and renovation projects of public buildings should be generated after China proposes the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality (September 22, 2020). This means that only the emission reductions generated by public building decarbonisation projects carried out after the target has been proposed will be counted in the total emission reductions.
The introduction of this regulation aims to encourage all walks of life to take more active measures to reduce carbon emissions after the carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals are proposed. At the same time, it also helps to ensure the accuracy and comparability of emission reduction data. The code not only provides a clear calculation method for carbon reduction and renovation projects of public buildings, but also provides a reference for the emission reduction work of other industries. The release of this standard will help promote the development of carbon reduction and renovation projects for public buildings.
