02.Ganquan Road Near-zero Emission Demonstration Community Renovation and Co-building Project

The Ganquan Road Near-zero Emission Demonstration Community Renovation and Co-building Project is guided by the Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Housing and Construction and jointly developed by multiple entities, including the Shenzhen General Institute of Architectural Design and Research Co., Ltd., the Bureau of Public Works of Futian District, Shenzhen, China Construction Science and Industry Corporation Ltd., Shenzhen Information Infrastructure Investment Development Co., Ltd., Guangdong Handway Technology Co., Ltd., and Shenzhen gas clean energy CO.,LTD. The project responds to national carbon reduction policies while addressing Shenzhen’s challenges of scarce buildable land and the growing strain on spatial capacity. It focuses on transforming existing buildings and surrounding aging communities into near-zero carbon emission models, exploring integrated technologies suited to low-carbon development.

Located on Ganquan Road in Huaqiangbei Street, Futian District, Shenzhen, this is the city's first "near-zero carbon" demonstration community. It consists of three main parts: a community park, the Design Building, and a multi-level parking garage. The project incorporates low-carbon technologies such as photovoltaic energy storage and flexible direct current systems, and has established smart management systems, including a carbon monitoring and display platform, a digital twin community, and intelligent parking. Low carbon and environmentally friendly materials, such as renewable aluminum with wood fibers and blue-white photovoltaic glass, were used in construction. The project stands out for its high level of green, low-carbon technological integration, significant demonstration effect, and excellent site facilities.

Completed in March 2023, the project has attracted extensive attention from domestic and international peers. To date, it has hosted hundreds of visits by social groups, enterprises, and institutions from both within China and abroad. It serves as a model for advancing and promoting near-zero carbon emission renovation technologies for existing buildings and aging communities. The project has achieved notable social, economic, and ecological benefits, offering an exemplary case for similar initiatives.

03.The Near–Zero Carbon Campus of Tianjin University Shenzhen Institute

The campus of Tianjin University Shenzhen Institute is located in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, and serves as an important part of the Xili Lake International Science and Education City. Covering a total land area of 16.67 hectares with a total building area of approximately 190,000 square meters, the campus construction includes teaching buildings, laboratories, a library, a student activity center, student dormitories, a cafeteria, sports venues and facilities, and a waste treatment demonstration center. Construction of the project began in October 2022 and is scheduled for completion and operational use in June 2025.

The campus design respects nature and protects the ecosystem, adopting a gradual ecological restoration approach during construction while emphasizing environmental protection throughout the entire process. Adhering to the principle of "adapting to the terrain and designing according to local conditions," the planning and design phase included simulations of the site's natural conditions to guide precise placement and layout of the buildings. The design thoughtfully integrates Shenzhen's climatic characteristics by reinterpreting traditional Lingnan architectural techniques, such as "cool alleys, patios, wind corridors, and arcades," into a modern educational space design language. A series of passive design strategies have been implemented to optimize natural ventilation, lighting, and thermal conditions.

The campus incorporates ultra-low energy consumption building technologies, integrating green building and healthy building systems to construct a "near-zero carbon" campus through appropriate technological solutions. During construction, efforts are made to cultivate and develop innovative production capabilities, achieving the combined goals of green ecology, comfort, and human-centered design.
