Liyang Housing and Urban-Rural Development Committee, Jintan Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, Wujin District Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, Xinbei District Urban Construction Bureau, Qishuyan District Construction Bureau, and various construction, contracting, surveying and design, supervision, concrete production, quality inspection, and professional associations and units:
To strengthen the management of green construction in building projects and promote the coordinated and sustainable development of the city's construction industry, according to the State Council's "Green Building Construction Action Plan", the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development's "Green Construction Guidelines", "Green Construction Evaluation Standards for Building Projects", the Provincial Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department's "Notice on Launching Green Construction Project Creation Activities in Jiangsu Province", and the Provincial Construction Industry Association's issued "Implementation Measures for Green Construction Evaluation of Jiangsu Province Building Projects (Trial)" and "Notice on the Application Work for Green Construction Projects", it has been decided to carry out green construction project creation and evaluation activities citywide starting from 2013. To ensure the proper creation, application, and review of green construction projects, the following implementation opinions are formulated:
I. Basic Principles
Green construction projects refer to projects that strictly manage the construction process throughout the project cycle, ensuring basic requirements such as quality and safety, and through scientific management and technological progress, maximize resource savings (materials, water, energy, land), protect the environment, reduce pollution, and achieve environmentally friendly, resource-saving, and sustainable green construction projects.
Changzhou's green construction achievements include "Changzhou Green Construction Projects" and "Changzhou Green Construction Demonstration Projects", among which the "Changzhou Green Construction Demonstration Project" is the highest honor for green construction in Changzhou's building projects.
Green construction projects are voluntarily applied for by enterprises, assessed and preliminarily reviewed by the City Construction Industry Association (hereinafter referred to as the City Construction Association), and approved by the City Green Construction Project Review Committee.
The application for green construction projects is the responsibility of the general contracting unit. Projects with joint contracting (with a joint contracting contract signed) can apply jointly. The application process for green construction projects is divided into two stages: creation announcement application and review application.
Each city and district may further formulate implementation rules based on local actual conditions.
II. Organizational Structure
1. Establish the City Green Construction Project (Demonstration Project) Review Committee (hereinafter referred to as the Review Committee). The Review Committee consists of one director, two deputy directors, and several members, composed of relevant industry leaders, department heads, and experts.
2. The Review Committee has an office responsible for the daily work of selecting and reviewing green construction (demonstration) projects. The office is located in the Construction Industry Management Office of the Urban and Rural Construction Bureau (hereinafter referred to as the Construction Management Office). The office staff consists of personnel from the Construction Management Office, City Construction Industry Association, City Construction Safety Supervision Station (hereinafter referred to as the Safety Supervision Station), City Construction Project Quality Supervision Station (hereinafter referred to as the Quality Supervision Station), and City Project Cost Management Department.
3. Responsibilities of the Review Committee: lead and organize the review work, review the review methods, hold review meetings, listen to evaluation reports on project creation, study and resolve issues arising in the review work, confirm awarded projects, and recommend projects to the provincial green construction (demonstration) project list.
4. Responsibilities of the Review Committee Office: implement policies, documents, technical standards, etc., from higher authorities and the city to promote green construction management; guide and supervise the dynamic management, on-site evaluation, and related joint reviews of the city's green construction (demonstration) projects.
5. The City Construction Industry Association is specifically responsible for the application work of the city's green construction (demonstration) projects. This includes establishing and managing an expert database for green construction (demonstration) projects; organizing training and observation exchanges for personnel involved in green construction evaluation; accepting and preliminarily reviewing application materials; organizing experts to conduct on-site evaluations and summarize conditions of the city's green construction (demonstration) projects; and issuing certificates of honor for awarded projects, units, and individuals.

IV. Creation Application
Before project commencement, the general contracting enterprise shall fill out the "Changzhou Green Construction Project Application Form" (Appendix 1), and after obtaining consent and recommendation from the local construction industry association and construction administrative department, submit it to the City Construction Industry Association. Projects in city districts (Zhonglou, Tianning) shall submit directly to the City Construction Industry Association.
1. The creation announcement application must submit the following materials:
