Chinese Zero Emission Buildings with Swiss Know-How (ZEB China)
By upgrading building emission standards, supporting demonstration buildings and enhancing capacities of professionals with Switzerland’s leading know-how on sustainable construction, the project will support low-carbon development of China’s building sector, which is the biggest in the world. It will also benefit the public health by improving the thermal comfort of buildings and reducing air pollution resulting from heating and cooling.

| Contexto |
Today, buildings and the construction sector account for nearly 40% of the world’s energy related CO2 emissions. China’s building sector is the biggest in the world, accounting for one third of China’s energy demand. Considering the 2050 carbon neutral goal of Paris Agreement, increasing the share of zero emission buildings in China is an urgent and important step in order to reach the target. Energy efficient construction is growing rapidly, but China has by far not tapped its full potential. At the same time, China lags behind in the formulation of carbon emission standards of buildings. China has recognized the urgency and importance of promoting energy efficient and low emission construction and willing to learn Swiss experience on promoting buildings with highest energy efficiency and environmental performance. |
| Objetivos | The overall project goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enable the carbon neutral development of the building sector in China by sharing Swiss know-how on sustainable and zero emission building. |
| Grupos destinarios |
· entral and local Chinese governmental Authorities · Building designers and planning professionals · Academia and training institutions · Private real estate developers and public investors - Owners, inhabitants and users of the demonstration buildings |
| Efectos a medio plazo |
Outcome 1 - Standards: Chinese standards on building energy efficiency and carbon emission become more ambitious. Outcome 2 - Demonstrations: Substantial investments are mobilized to construct new or retrofit existing buildings according to zero emission standards. Outcome 3 - Capacity Building: Capacities on emission reduction in buildings are strengthened and the Sino-Swiss joint know-how is disseminated. |
| Resultados |
Resultados previstos: · 2030/2060 building related carbon emission reduction potential quantified for China based on Swiss experience. · Evidence-based suggestions for updating · Demonstration buildings are constructed · Active Platform for facilitation of Sino-Swiss - Professionals and students trained with Resultados de las fases anteriores: Strong track-record: Through its Global Programme Climate Change and Environment, SDC has successfully leveraged Swiss know-how on building energy efficiency in various countries and regions in Asia and Latin America. The lessons learnt in an earlier collaboration on Low Carbon Cities in China have also guided the project design Confirmed potential: A comparative study of the Swiss and Chinese building standards confirms the potential of adapting Swiss know-how to Chinese context. Tender procedure: Implementing agency identified following the SDC’s standard procedure of open tender for international bids. Partner Risk Assessment has been conducted in line with SDC internal procedures and guidelines. Established baseline: A survey of current building energy efficiency incentive policies in Chinese provincial and municipal level establishes the baseline for this project. MoU signed: In November 2020, a Memorandum of Understanding has been signed with the Chinese Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. |
