Field Visits & In-depth Discussions to Drive Industrial Landing & Global Expansion

In the afternoon, the delegates paid an on-site visit to the base and the demonstration model housing zone for beautiful rural areas, gaining a direct understanding of the base’s construction progress and practical application scenarios.

Guo Hao, Design Director and Chief Engineer of the Low-Carbon & Lightweight Housing System Integration Base, delivered a professional presentation on the construction plan of the model houses, providing scientific guidance for follow-up construction work.

The meeting also facilitated information exchanges on domestic and international market expansion. Enterprise representatives shared the latest developments in overseas markets and held in-depth discussions on a range of topics, including the plan for establishing an innovation consortium, resource sharing and joint overseas expansion.

In addition, participating delegates jointly discussed the formulation of relevant standards. They exchanged views on the framework of integrated standards as well as the division of labor for construction methods, materials and products pertaining to low-carbon and lightweight buildings, so as to drive the standardized development of the industry.

Review work, outline plans and chart the course to advance high-quality global expansion of the green building industry.

Dean Zhao Jinping pointed out in his summary and work arrangement that the Innovation Consortium will focus on tackling generic technical bottlenecks, integrating the full industrial chain, securing policy and development resources, and lowering the industry’s trial-and-error costs. It will drive member enterprises to conduct collaborative innovation and jointly expand overseas businesses, and respond to the initiative of "Overseas Reindustrialization". This will help China’s green building technologies and products achieve a leap from merely "going global" to "taking root locally" and "moving up the high-end segment", contributing to the high-quality development of human settlements.
