The 19th CPC National Congress proposed to build China into a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modernized country in the middle of this century. "Beautiful" has become an important attribute of modernization. The Sixth Plenum of the Ninth Committee of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee made the "Decision on Promoting High-quality Development in an All-round Way," stressing that establishing and practicing green mountains and green mountains is the concept of Jinshan Yinshan Mountain and accelerating the construction of ecological civilization. To achieve such a goal, we must adhere to ecological, green, and sustainable development concepts, accelerate the establishment of a legal system and policy orientation for green production and consumption, and establish and improve a green and low-carbon recycling economic system.

An important measure to promote the high quality development of buildings

The construction industry is one of the pillar industries in Hebei Province and plays an important role in economic and social development, urban and rural construction and improvement of people's livelihood. However, construction is the main source of energy resources and environmental pollution. Statistics from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development show that the energy consumption of China's buildings accounts for about 33.3% of the total energy consumption of the entire society, and the carbon dioxide emissions from the construction industry account for 43.7% of the country's total emissions.

With the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the planning and construction of the Xiong'an New District, the preparation for the 2022 Winter Olympics, the implementation of the “One Belt and One Road” and rural revitalization and other major strategies and major projects, the Hebei construction industry has ushered in major development and major leapfrogging. Historical opportunity. At the same time, energy resources and the ecological environment are also facing enormous challenges. There is an urgent need to explore and establish a sustainable development model for the construction industry.

“Building the Jing-Jin-Ji ecological and environmental support area is a major historical responsibility undertaken by Hebei.” Yang Zhiming, director of Hebei Provincial People’s Congress Construction and Environmental Protection Commission, stated that under such circumstances, local legislation is used to lead and guarantee the rapid and healthy development of green buildings, and promote construction. The transformation of industry development methods and urban-rural construction models is of great significance for actively responding to energy security strategies, reducing pollution emissions, improving the living environment, and promoting green development and high-quality development.

The rapid development of green buildings lays the foundation for local legislation

In recent years, Hebei Province has achieved rapid development of green buildings. In 2017, the province built 94.446 million square meters of green buildings, accounting for 37.2% of new buildings, and 162 green building evaluation projects. The total construction area of the project was assessed to be 10,814,300 square meters. From 2010 to 2017, the province has received a total of 478 green building evaluation marks, with a total construction area of 39,440,400 square meters, and the number and area of marks have increased steadily year by year, ranking first in the country.

However, the scale of green buildings is still relatively small compared with the annual construction area completed in Hebei Province. According to the “13th Five-Year Plan” for the province's building energy-saving and green building development, by 2020, newly-built buildings in cities and towns will fully implement green building standards. The percentage of two-star or higher projects in the green building evaluation logo project is more than 80%, and the proportion of the operation identification projects obtained has been increased. To complete these indicators, the task is still very arduous.

According to reports, at present, the policy foundation and technical standards for the development of green buildings in Hebei Province have been relatively complete, and the “Implementation Opinions on Launching Green Building Actions and Creating Building Energy Conservation Provinces” and “Hebei Green Building Evaluation Standards” have been issued. The application of building technology is also becoming more and more mature. The incremental cost of green buildings is decreasing year by year.

Some provinces and cities have accumulated relatively mature experience in formulating local regulations for the development of green buildings, which provides a reference for the province’s legislation. According to reports, on July 1, 2015, the "Regulations on the Development of Green Buildings in Jiangsu Province" was promulgated and implemented. This is China's first green building development regulation. Subsequently, Zhejiang Province and Hefei City also issued green building regulations one after another. In the regulations for the energy-saving of civil buildings in Guizhou, Guangxi, Shaanxi, and Shandong provinces, relevant provisions have been made for the development of green buildings. In addition, Qinghai, Jiangxi, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other provinces and cities have also issued relevant government regulations for green buildings.

“Green buildings cover the entire process of building planning, design, review, construction, supervision, inspection, acceptance, and operation, and involve various departmental responsibilities.” Yang Zhiming said that through the legislation, the development of green buildings is included in the rule of law, and all departments are defined according to law. Responsibilities, the formation of their own duties, and joint efforts to promote the development of green buildings, the use of legal force to regulate and protect the development of green buildings, is bound to open a new chapter in Hebei Province green building development.

Achieve a double rise in awareness of the rule of law and awareness of green development

Yang Zhiming stated: “The main purpose of launching green building legislation is to implement the concept of green development in the construction industry, incorporate green building into the process control of the capital construction process, and better develop government guidance and policy support through the formation of favorable institutional mechanisms and market environment. Roles, from the past 'evaluation guidance' to 'target guidance' and 'legislative protection', to promote the development of green buildings from the aspects of institutionalization, standardization, and legalization."

According to reports, the “Green Building Promotion Regulations (Draft)” of Hebei Province started drafting work from 2015 onwards, basically covering green building project management, green building operation and management, green building technology and application, institutional guarantees and incentives, and legal responsibilities. The core content of the development of green buildings. The regulations were submitted to the provincial government legal affairs office by the end of 2016.

The People's Congress of the National People's Congress of Hebei Province organized the Environment and Fisheries Commission in 2017 to participate in the legislative work ahead of schedule, actively promoted, organized and held a seminar of legal experts, and went to Fuzhou, Baoding and other places to conduct on-the-spot investigations. It was necessary for the legislation, feasibility, key contents and regulations that needed regulation. The draft's pertinence and operability will be researched and argued, and the three aspects of the legislation need to be standardized and improved: First, to further standardize and improve the requirements for the development of green buildings. The government should take the development of green buildings as a major measure to build a resource-saving and environment-friendly society and do a good job of strategic planning. The second is to further standardize and improve the green building project management system. Incorporating green buildings into the process control of the basic construction procedures, it stipulates a series of basic systems for the management of green buildings and clarifies the responsibilities of each responsible entity according to law. The third is to further regulate and improve the constraints and incentive mechanisms for the development of green buildings. The government should adopt appropriate incentive policies to guide and encourage the government, enterprises, consumers and other market actors to cooperate with each other and jointly promote the market mechanism.

This year, the Standing Committee of the People's Congress of Hebei Province will formulate the Regulations for the Promotion of the Promotion of Green Buildings in Hebei Province as a key legislative project to promote the green development of the province and accelerate the construction of ecological civilization. Deputy Secretary of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of Hebei Province and deputy director of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress Fan Zhaobing and deputy party secretary and deputy director Wang Xiaodong made it clear that they must conduct in-depth research on legislation and take the legislative process as a process of publicizing the concept of green development to the entire society, and earnestly guarantee the quality of legislation.

Yang Zhiming said that the Hebei Provincial People’s Congress Construction and Environmental Protection Commission will continue to carry out special legislative research to comprehensively understand the development of green buildings, learn the legislative experience of advanced regions, accurately grasp the requirements of green building development, adopt various forms, and strengthen green building knowledge and green The propaganda of the development concept has widely solicited advice from the people's congress deputies, industry authorities, industry experts and scholars, practitioners in the construction industry and other sectors of the society, organized the study and verification of the draft regulations, proposed reviewing and modifying opinions, and strived to formulate effective, effective, and Strongly operative regulations.
