Mahesh Ramanujam, Chief Operating Officer of the U.S. Green Building Council and President of the Green Building Certification Institute, advocated from the perspective of healthy and safe living: Let every person of our generation experience green buildings! Jiang Yi, professor at Tsinghua University's Building Energy Efficiency Research Center and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, proposed several suggestions on how to regulate building energy efficiency work starting from total volume control. Additionally, Thomas Mueller, President and CEO of the Canada Green Building Council, and other well-known experts and scholars in the industry attended the comprehensive forum and delivered speeches.
Based on the current status and development direction of building energy efficiency and green buildings domestically and internationally, from the 29th to 30th, 31 sub-forums were held, including "Green Building Design Theory, Technology and Practice"; "Green Ecological Urban Areas and Green Buildings"; "Energy-saving Operation and Supervision of Large Commercial Buildings"; "China Green Building Real Estate Market Development Forum"; "Green Talks—Sustainable Micro-city Construction"; "Energy Management and Sustainable Development of Large Public Buildings"; "Green Building Materials and Enclosure Structures"; "Healthy Development of the Green Real Estate Industry"; "Ten Years of Partnership—Sino-British Sustainable Development Cities"; "Passive Low-energy Building Technology and Solutions"; "China-Europe Building Energy Efficiency Technology and Policy Exchange"; "Low-carbon Urbanization Development—Singapore Experience Sharing"; "U.S. Green Technology Forum"; "Green Campus"; "Green Industrial Buildings"; "Three-dimensional Greening to Control Smog Forum"; "Green Building Intelligence and Digital Technology"; "Green Building and Indoor Environment Optimization"; "Energy-saving Renovation Technology and Engineering Practice for Existing Buildings"; "Latest Developments in Renewable Energy Applications in Buildings"; "Green Ecological Cities and Low-carbon Wood Structures"; "Sino-French Cooperation to Build Innovative and Sustainable Cities"; "Innovative Concepts in China's Building Energy Efficiency Field"; "Latest Progress in Green Construction"; "Green Building and Sustainable Water Systems in Ecological Cities"; "Promoting Green Building Development through Building Industrialization"; "Application of BIM Technology in Green Buildings"; "Innovative Technologies in Green Buildings"; "China-Europe Building Energy Efficiency Policy Strategy and Progress Seminar," among others.
During the seminar, representatives from domestic and international government agencies in the construction system, research institutes, and enterprises gathered to exchange the latest scientific and technological achievements, development trends, and successful cases in green buildings and building energy efficiency. They discussed technical standards, policy measures, evaluation systems, and testing labels for green buildings and building energy efficiency, shared new experiences in developing green buildings and building energy efficiency both internationally and domestically, and promoted technological innovation and in-depth development of green buildings and building energy efficiency in China's housing and urban-rural development sector. Notably, this conference featured deeper and broader international exchanges and cooperation, with some forums strongly supported and co-hosted by relevant institutions from countries such as the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Singapore, Denmark, and Canada, which have globally advanced building energy efficiency policy systems, technologies, and scientific design concepts, jointly seeking development.
The "International Green Building and Building Energy Efficiency New Technology and Product Expo" was held concurrently. The expo aimed to "facilitate exchange and cooperation, and promote industry development." The exhibits covered new technologies and products related to building energy efficiency, ecological environmental protection, intelligent buildings, energy-saving renovation of existing buildings, green lighting, green construction, green real estate, application of renewable energy in buildings, energy-saving operation management of large public buildings, and new green building materials.
Since the successful convening of the first "International Green Building and Building Energy Efficiency Conference and New Technology Expo" in Beijing in 2005, ten years have passed. Looking back over the decade of development, the number of participants has grown from the initial 800 to over 3,000, and the number of exhibiting units has increased from 50 to more than 300. The event has gathered over 300 renowned domestic and international green building experts, scholars, and industry elites, achieving integration across countries, regions, disciplines, and fields. It has become the largest and most influential green building and energy efficiency industry event in China. The grand opening of the 10th International Green Building Conference marks the beginning of the next decade of development for China's green building industry.
