CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- The Green Building Design Standard (Exposure Draft) in Chongqing, which is edited by Chongqing Research Institute of China Coal Technology & Engineering Group Corporation, sought for opinions on the website of Chongqing Municipal Commission of Urban-Rural Development on July 8, 2013. In the future, green building design in Chongqing will have higher requirements in such aspects as public facilities, traffic system and light environment.

The so-called green buildings are those that can save energy, land, water, and materials at the most and can protect the environment and reduce pollution; also they can co-exist harmoniously with nature during their entire life-cycle. During the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, over 10 millionm2 of green buildings will be constructed in Chongqing.

As is pointed out in the exposure draft, there should be the 8 categories of facilities (education, health care, culture and sports, business services, finance and posts and telecommunications, community services, municipal public utilities and public administration) within 500 meters away from the entrances and exits of the residential building sites and within 1,000 meters, there should be the 6 categories of urban administrative office, culture, research and education, sports, health care and social welfare.
