Strictly implementing energy-saving standards: We will continue to increase the publicity and implementation of the "Design Standard for Energy Efficiency of Residential Buildings in Heilongjiang Province" (DB23/1270-2019) and the "Design Standard for Energy Efficiency of Public Buildings in Heilongjiang Province" (DB23/T2706-2020) to promote the implementation of the standards. All localities shall be guided and encouraged to implement the "Design Standard for Energy Efficiency of Public Buildings in Heilongjiang Province". We will promote low-energy building technologies and products, and continue to carry out pilot projects for low-energy building construction. Besides, we will also strengthen the whole process management of the implementation of mandatory energy-saving standards for new buildings, and ensure that the province's new building energy-saving design compliance rate and construction qualification rate reach 100%.

  2. Promoting the energy-saving renovation of existing buildings: All localities shall consider the energy-saving renovation of buildings as a basic part of the renovation of old urban residential areas, and coordinate efforts to promote energy-saving renovation of existing buildings in combination with the renovation of old residential areas To this end, they shall seriously implement the requirements of "Notice on Issuing the Implementation Plan (2020-2022) of "Three Keys and One Transformation" Tackling Action for Pollution Control of Bulk Coal in Heilongjiang Province", and the annual plan to renovate residential buildings shall be not less than 13 million square meters, of which the renovation area of Harbin, Suihua and Zhaozhou shall be not less than 6.5 million square meters, 400,000 square meters and 30,000 square meters respectively. All localities are encouraged to implement energy-saving renovation of high-energy-consuming public buildings, with an annual target of more than 100,000 square meters.

  3. Promoting the application of renewable energy in buildings: All localities shall earnestly implement the "Special Plan for Geothermal Energy Heating in Heilongjiang Province," and key demonstration areas and active demonstration areas shall start the construction of demonstration projects as soon as possible. The focus is on the promotion and application of geothermal energy in areas not covered by central heating and in government-invested projects.

  3. Promoting the popularization and application of green building materials: We shall accelerate the certification of green building materials and products, establish a product information collection mechanism and management platform, focus on promoting the application of high-strength steel bars, high-performance concrete, integrated wall panels with thermal insulation structures, and prefabricated building parts. The government-funded projects shall take the lead to adopt green building materials. Harbin and other places are encouraged to carry out construction of demonstration projects for the application of green building materials, and strengthen demonstration guidance.

  III. Promoting the development of prefabricated buildings

  We shall further strengthen policy guidance, introduce substantive preferential policies in land supply, industry management, taxes and fees, encourage local governments to introduce policies and measures to promote prefabricated buildings, and guide local governments to adopt prefabricated construction in the construction of subsidized housing, with an annual plan to promote at least 800,000 square meters of prefabricated buildings. We shall strengthen production capacity construction, strive to cultivate more than three prefabricated construction industry bases every year, and promote the balance between supply and demand of prefabricated construction. Besides, we shall also strengthen project construction, organize on-site observation and giving play to the leading role of demonstration projects.

  IV. Leading innovation in the construction industry

  Focusing on the key work in the field of construction, the government shall give full play to its leading role, and take enterprises and scientific research institutes as the main body and demand as the orientation, to promote project scientific research and technological breakthroughs in line with the high-quality development of the industry. The construction enterprises and scientific research institutions shall be guided to apply for annual science and technology plan projects of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and provincial science and technology awards. We shall strengthen guidance and services for scientific and technological innovation, establish an information system for the application of scientific and technological research projects, actively organize the appraisal and promotion of scientific and technological achievements, and strengthen the promotion and application of the "four new (new technology, new processes, new materials, and new equipment)" technologies and products.
