On September 20th, the 5th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 16th Beijing Municipal People's Congress conducted a second review of the "Draft Regulations on Green Development of Buildings in Beijing". The second draft consists of 7 chapters and 62 articles, following the legislative approach of "full life cycle, all involved fields, and all industrial chains", aiming to promote green, low-carbon, and high-quality development in the construction industry, and actively responding to the actual needs of green development. On the basis of the first draft, the second draft has been improved from multiple perspectives such as standardized construction, operation, maintenance, and renovation of buildings, technological support, industrial development, and incentive guidance. It is proposed to strengthen energy-saving and green transformation, and encourage the synchronous implementation of energy-saving transformation and barrier free and aging friendly facility transformation.

It is reported that on July 27th of this year, the fourth meeting of the 16th Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress conducted the first review of the "Beijing Building Green Development Regulations (Draft)". In order to practice the entire process of people's democracy, widely gather public opinion, gather people's wisdom, and improve the quality of legislation, the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress, through the Chairman's Meeting, contacts the working mechanism of the Standing Committee of the District People's Congress, extensively listens to opinions and suggestions from representatives of the People's Congress, construction units, supervision units, operation units, relevant departments of the district government, streets and towns, experts and scholars, and solicits suggestions from the research group through multiple rounds Conducting thematic research and legislative symposiums, publicly soliciting public opinions, and other means, ultimately forming a second review draft.

In terms of regulating construction requirements, the second draft proposes to improve the promotion and use of building materials, expanding the scope of promotion from green building materials to safe, durable, energy-saving, low-carbon, high-performance, healthy and environmentally friendly building materials and equipment facilities; Further standardize the formulation and revision procedures of the Catalogue of Prohibited Use of Building Materials, clarify the need for fair competition review in accordance with the law, and implement the principles of scientific argumentation and public participation. To promote the green demolition of buildings, it is clear that urban management departments are responsible for the supervision of construction waste disposal, Add a new regulation on the requirements for construction waste disposal and demolition site construction: This city promotes the green demolition of buildings. During the demolition of buildings, the construction unit or other demolition units shall formulate a construction waste treatment plan, clarify the disposal methods and cleaning measures, and urge the construction unit to take green construction measures such as dust control. The construction unit shall prepare a construction waste treatment plan for the construction site and adopt green construction measures such as dust control in accordance with standard specifications and agreements

In terms of strengthening operation, maintenance, and renovation, the second draft proposes to strengthen departmental responsibilities, clarify that the housing and urban-rural construction department is responsible for coordinating green operation, maintenance, and management of buildings, strengthen information application, and promote the improvement of energy efficiency of existing buildings. The energy-saving and green transformation is also more prominent. The second draft clarifies that the municipal housing and urban-rural construction department is responsible for the overall coordination of the transformation, organizing investigations, statistics, and analysis, formulating transformation plans, and encouraging the synchronous implementation of energy-saving transformation and the transformation of accessible and aging facilities.

In terms of strengthening scientific and technological support, the second draft proposes that this city supports research in building science and technology, builds a building technology innovation system that conforms to green orientation and market demand, and creates new technology application scenarios for green development in buildings. At the same time, we will strengthen technological innovation and add a new regulation: the municipal housing and urban-rural construction, science and technology departments should organize and carry out scientific and technological breakthroughs around key technologies such as green building materials, green operation and maintenance, digital applications, and building performance improvement. The second draft also clarifies the need to promote the construction of an innovation system, fully leverage the roles of enterprises, research institutions, universities, and scientific and technological innovation personnel, support industry university research and application cooperation and international exchanges, promote the construction of a technology research and development community, and create a collaborative innovation platform. Talent cultivation and training are also crucial. The second draft proposes to strengthen the guidance and coordination of vocational training work, support professional skill training, and promote the improvement of employees' skills.

Regarding industrial development and guidance incentives, the second draft mentioned that it will promote the development of prefabricated buildings, add a new clause to encourage technology research and application, improve the quality of component parts, promote the rational layout of production enterprises, and gradually establish a professional, large-scale, and information-based production system. For the application of recycled products, the second draft proposes to promote the reduction, resource utilization, and harmless treatment of construction waste, and promote the integration of construction demolition, transportation, storage, disposal, and use of recycled products. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the evaluation and application of results, promote the evaluation of green buildings, prefabricated buildings, and healthy buildings, and promote the demonstration of ultra-low energy consumption buildings and low-carbon building projects.
