Carrier successfully held its fifth Green Done Easy conference with a "Craft Meets Art - A Journey of Carbon Inspiration" theme at the Museum of Art Pudong (MAP) in the Lujiazui central business district of Shanghai.
More than 200 participants attended to discuss global climate change, energy shortages and ecological environment deterioration, while exchanging ideas on how to support green buildings and low-carbon sustainable development. Industry experts Ma Weijun, Vice Chairman of Building Environment and Energy Utilization Branch of China Engineering and Consulting Association and Huang Yonghua, Secretary General of Shanghai Institute of Refrigeration and Professor of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, attended the conference.
The green building industry is facing both opportunities and challenges under China’s dual carbon strategy, which plans to peak its emissions by 2030 and become carbon neutral by 2060. The Carbon Emission Peaking in Urban-Rural Construction plan proposes that all new urban construction must meet one of the three-star green building certifications by 2025 to improve energy efficiency by 30 percent. Carrier offers a wide range of lifecycle solutions to meet China’s green building standards.
