Established standards for green building construction, and Hubei Province compiled a green building design and construction manual

How to make buildings less polluting and more energy efficient? It was learned from the Hubei Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development on October 29 that the first draft of the "Green Construction Design Manual" and "Green Construction Construction Manual" of Hubei Province was basically completed, and there will be "rules" for green buildings from design to construction.

It is reported that the "Design Manual" and "Construction Manual" are respectively in charge of Zhongnan Architectural Design Institute and Wuhan Hanyang Municipal Group, with the participation of member units of the Green Construction Science and Innovation Consortium. The first draft was formed after several rounds of discussion and revision, providing technical and construction guidance for the green construction of housing and municipal engineering in our province.

The "Design Manual" provides design guidelines in many aspects such as architectural design and HVAC. For example, electrical appliances and intelligent design include green lighting energy-saving design, remote power meters, wind power circuit lights, smart water technology and many other technical content.

The "Construction Manual" lists the technical list from basic items, upgrade items, and municipal engineering. Basic items include construction machinery and facilities, main structure, thermal insulation and waterproofing works, etc.; upgrade items include prefabricated construction, waste reduction, etc.; municipal engineering includes road drainage, bridges, tunnels, and underground space projects. Taking the mobile sound insulation and noise reduction shed as an example, the steel plate and sound insulation cotton are used to effectively control the noise of the construction site. After monitoring, it is found that the noise of the pump truck can be reduced by 20 decibels, reducing the interference to the surrounding residents.

The relevant person in charge of the Hubei Provincial Building Technology and Energy Saving Office stated that the final draft of the "Design Manual" and "Construction Manual" is expected to be completed and released by the end of this year, and will be promoted throughout the province by then.
