首个净零碳设计研讨会在中国举办 China Hosts its First ZERO NET CARBON Professional Training

(Scroll down for English)

建筑2030和中国勘察设计协会建筑设计分会零碳绿建技术推进委员会共同合作,于2017年9月20日至22日在中国上海举办了净零碳设计研讨会。这一研讨会由同济大学建筑设计研究院(集团)有限公司承办,是第一个为来自中国各地的建筑师、规划师、建筑业专业人士和未来培训官教授设计净零碳开发和建筑的研讨会。

全球温室气体排放的75%由城市环境产生。为了实现《巴黎协定》将全球平均气温的升幅与工业化前相比控制在2℃之内,减少建筑业的能源消耗和温室气体排放是必须的。

“中国政府多次重申决心落实《巴黎协定》所规定的责任和义务。保护环境和地球母亲是建筑师的职业责任和社会责任。”

陈轸,中国勘察设计协会建筑设计分会秘书长

中国每年将新建约20亿平方米的建筑(215亿平方英尺),以容纳至2030年预计为10亿的城市人口。由于这种显著的增长,与中国设计专业人士合作分享实现高效、净零碳建筑设计和开发的原则、工具和过程显得更为重要和迫切。

从2015年10月起有62家国内设计院和国际建筑和规划设计公司签署了《中国倡议》,将“零碳或近零碳”设定为中国新建建筑的设计标准。中国勘察设计协会建筑设计分会与建筑2030已经将净零碳作为中国建筑设计实践的必要的和可实现的目标。2016年6月,中国勘察设计协会建筑设计分会成立了零碳绿建技术推进委员会以进一步推动中国的净零碳设计。

中国净零碳设计研讨会建立在《中国倡议》之上,提供了一个难得的机会将国内外顶尖的规划、建筑能源消耗和排放、太阳能分析、被动式供暖和供冷、照明和可再生能源领域的专家聚集在一起。来自于SOM、SmithGroupJJR、NBBJ、DLR Group、马萨诸塞大学安姆斯特分校、CallisonRTKL、华盛顿大学和Perkins+Will的专家探讨和展现了可适用于中国的可持续和净零碳规划和设计的策略及方法。

研讨会也邀请了世界银行旗下的国际金融公司(International Finance Corporation, IFC)介绍EDGE——这一可持续设计和认证的工具。国际金融公司最近正和建筑2030合作将净零碳的认证路径结合到EDGE软件中。

9月22日,Autodesk举办了半天的Insight软件工作坊——综合能耗模拟平台。Insight软件工作坊向参加者介绍了软件可用于支持净零碳设计的多种方法,并包含了实际操作的教程以展示如何通过这一工具应用先前专家介绍的净零碳设计的原则和方法。

来自中国各地的大约200位建筑专业人士参加了为期两天半的培训和工作坊。净零碳研讨会的首要目标是通过可应用的和高性价比的方法和实践案例使得建筑师和规划师在可持续和净零碳的建筑和开发中承担领导作用。研讨会使得参会者理解各类策略背后的原理,并自信的使用各种分析方法和设计策略的组合以大幅减少能耗和碳排放。

“中国建筑师必须在整个设计过程中实施净零碳设计策略,而不是设计’西瓜式的绿色建筑’——为了获得认证仅在表面上看起来绿色。”

车学娅,中国勘察设计协会建筑设计分会零碳绿建技术推进委员主任

来自中国各地的多家设计院表示有兴趣引入净零碳培训,以扩展知识。这些设计院都有数百名建筑师,预计培训的影响将非常深远。

随着更多的人关注和应用净零碳设计策略,中国将在走向净零碳建筑环境的道路上发挥全球领导力。石头已经投下,水波开始蔓延。中国建筑业的转变正在进行中。

 

On September 20th-22nd, Architecture 2030 and the China Exploration and Design Association Architecture Branch Zero Carbon Green Building Technical Committee co-hosted a Zero Net Carbon (ZNC) professional training workshop in Shanghai, China. The event, put on by the Tongji Architectural Design Group Co. Ltd., was the first training of its kind to prepare architects, planners, building sector professionals, and future trainers from across China to design ZNC developments and buildings.

Globally, urban environments are responsible for nearly 75% of the world’s GHG emissions. Therefore, in order to achieve the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global average temperature increase to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, it is crucial to reduce the energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of the building sector.

“The Chinese government has reiterated on multiple occasions its determination to implement the responsibilities and obligations agreed to in the Paris Agreement. Protecting the environment and Mother Earth is the architects’ professional duty and social responsibility.”
Zhen Chen, Secretary-General of CEDAAB

China is adding roughly two billion square meters (21.5 billion square feet) of new buildings each year in order to accommodate an urban population expected to reach one billion people by 2030. Due to this extraordinary growth, it is more important than ever that collaborations be established with Chinese design professionals to share the available principles, tools, and processes that deliver highly efficient, ZNC buildings and developments.

Since October 2015, 62 Chinese local design institutes (LDIs) and international architecture and planning firms have signed the China Accord, setting “carbon neutral or near carbon neutral” as the design standard for all new building projects in China. CEDAAB and Architecture 2030 have since established ZNC as a necessary and achievable goal for Chinese building design practice. In June 2016, CEDAAB established a Zero Carbon Green Building Technical Committee to further promote ZNC design in China.

The China ZNC training program built on the momentum established by the China Accord, providing a rare opportunity to bring together top international and Chinese professionals in the fields of planning, building energy consumption and emissions, solar analysis, passive heating and cooling, daylighting, and renewable energy systems. Expert speakers from SOM, SmithGroupJJR, NBBJ, DLR Group, University of Massachusetts Amherst, CallisonRTKL, the University of Washington, and Perkins+Will discussed and presented strategies and methods for sustainable and ZNC design and planning practices applicable to China.

Also invited to the training was the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, to discuss EDGE, their sustainable design and certification tool. IFC recently worked with Architecture 2030 to incorporate a ZNC certification pathway into the EDGE software.

On September 22nd, Autodesk delivered a half-day workshop on Insight, their comprehensive energy modeling platform. The Insight workshop introduced attendees to the various ways that the software can be used to support ZNC design, and included a hands-on tutorial demonstrating the tool’s implementation of the ZNC principles and methodologies presented by expert speakers earlier in the week.

The two and a half-day training and workshop were well attended by approximately 200 building sector professionals from throughout China.

The overarching goal of the ZNC training was to empower architects and planners to assume a leadership role in the design of sustainable and carbon neutral buildings and developments, by providing them with applicable and cost-effective methods and case studies. The program ensured that participants understood the rationale behind various strategies, and were able to confidently deploy these strategies to effectively reduce energy consumptionand carbon emissions.

“Chinese architects must implement zero net carbon design strategies throughout the entire design process, and not design ‘watermelon style green buildings’ – appearing green on the outside only – for the sake of achieving a certification.”

Xueya Che, Director of the Zero Carbon Green Buildings Technical Committee of CEDAAB

Multiple LDIs throughout China have expressed interest in bringing the ZNC training to their offices, to broaden the reach of the knowledge. As each LDI employs hundreds of architects, the impact of the training is expected to be significant.

With more attention and application of net zero carbon design strategies, China is in a position to provide global leadership on the pathway towards a carbon neutral built environment. The stone has been cast, and the ripples are beginning to spread. A transformation of the built environment in China is underway.
