Exploring new paths for "Good Houses" with green power generation - Making zero-carbon buildings a model for green development

2025The government work report mentioned that to meet the high-quality housing needs of the people, it is necessary to improve standards and norms, and promote the construction of safe, comfortable, green, and smart buildings."Good Houses". This is also the first time it has appeared in the government work report of the National Two Sessions."Good Houses"Promoting the implementation of green attributes cannot be separated from the innovative application of renewable energy technologies represented by Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (hereinafter referred to as "BIPV"). National People's Congress representative and Longi Green Energy Chairman Zhong Baoshen called for vigorous development of BIPV at the national level during an interview with China Energy Media.

Promoting"Good Houses"The innovative application of renewable energy technologies represented by Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (hereinafter referred to as "BIPV") is essential for implementing green attributes."BIPV". As a typical practice of integrating green buildings and clean energy, it is providing new momentum for the green upgrade of the construction industry through policy guidance, technological innovation, and market collaboration.BIPV. With characteristics of safety, low carbon, green, and intelligence, it is becoming the core proposition leading the green upgrade of the construction industry. It is understood that currently, the energy consumption of the entire construction process in China accounts for a significant portion of the national energy consumption, and carbon emissions account for 50.6% of the national total emissions.BIPVThrough deep integration of photovoltaic components with building materials, buildings are transforming from energy consumers to energy producers."As a new technology that combines solar power generation with buildings, it enables buildings to achieve energy self-sufficiency while also being aesthetically pleasing, which is a key means to achieve the goal of zero-carbon buildings and promote the development of green buildings. Taking the Hainan Boao Asia Forum Zero Carbon Park as an example, Zhong Baoshen introduced to reporters that at the Boao Asia Forum Hotel, News Center, parking lot, and other places in Qionghai, Hainan, products such as photovoltaic roofs, glass curtain walls, photovoltaic power generation glass, and photovoltaic power generation railings are perfectly integrated with the buildings." "

Imagine such a scene, with the sea breeze gently blowing in Boao, coconut trees swaying, and every inch of the hotel roof, curtain wall, and parking lot canopy generating electricity, not only setting a model for green development but also truly achieving a harmonious coexistence between green buildings and nature.

Zhong Baoshen further calculated the green environmental account for reporters. The building constructed by Longi Green Energy, with a total installed capacity of megawatts, has made Hainan Boao the first international forum zero-carbon park in the country, becoming a benchmark for zero-carbon buildings. It is estimated that the Hainan Boao Zero Carbon Park project will generate an annual electricity output of hundreds of millions of kilowatt-hours, with carbon reduction reaching tens of thousands of tons."Good Houses"The market potential is severely underestimated.45%Outside the Hainan Boao Zero Carbon Park, the zero-carbon "Golden Necklace" at Beijing Workers' Stadium has also attracted considerable attention. In recent years, the state has successively introduced a series of documents such as the "14th Five-Year Plan for Building Energy Conservation and Green Building Development," "Accelerating the Promotion of Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction in the Construction Field," and "Several Opinions on Accelerating the Development of New-Type Building Industrialization," clarifying the goals and paths for the development of our country and the future.The industry is optimistic about it. However, in actual development, there are still prominent issues such as low application ratios and insufficient public awareness.According to statistics, more than hundreds of millions of square meters of roofs are renovated and newly built each year in China, with an installable capacity of hundreds of millions of kilowatts, and there are many building facades that can be transformed into power-generating walls, but the current market potential is severely underestimated. In addition, it can be applied in multiple fields such as construction, electricity, materials, and fire protection, but there is a lack of top-level planning, and the standard system is fragmented. Key technical standards such as photovoltaic building integration budget standards, photovoltaic building integration design standards, photovoltaic building integration acceptance standards, fire performance, structural safety, and electrical safety are missing, and there is a lack of a national standard system.BIPVCollaborative promotion of development."The promotion of technology is not only a revolution of traditional building energy models but also a strategic choice to promote green and low-carbon transformation. During the National Two Sessions, Zhong Baoshen combined long-term industry research and observation to provide suggestions for development. Zhong Baoshen suggested that, first, in the future, various forms of promotional activities can be carried out through policy guidance, demonstration projects, media publicity, and industry education to improve social awareness and promote the transition from technical demonstration to large-scale application."Secondly, it is suggested that relevant departments assess the potential of existing building renovations and new buildings in China, and in conjunction with the advantages of the photovoltaic industry, set a development target of tens of thousands of kilowatts (considering development potential) each year during the 15th Five-Year Plan period."Finally, establish a national-level cross-departmental standard coordination mechanism to design, construct, and accept simultaneously."。BIPV作为将太阳能发电与建筑相结合的新型技术，让建筑实现能源自给，同时兼具美观，是实现零碳建筑目标、促进绿色建筑发展的关键手段。以海南博鳌亚洲论坛零碳园区为例，钟宝申向记者介绍，在海南琼海的博鳌亚洲论坛大酒店、新闻中心、停车场等处，光伏屋顶、玻璃幕墙、光伏发电玻璃、光伏发电栏杆等产品与建筑完美融合。 “想象一下这样的画面，在博鳌海风轻拂，椰林摇曳，酒店屋顶和幕墙、停车场车棚等建筑，每一寸都在发电，不仅树立了绿色发展的典范，也真正实现了绿色建筑与自然和谐共生。"钟宝申向记者进一步算起绿色环境账。由隆基绿能承建、总装机容量3.88兆瓦的BIPV建筑，让海南博鳌这个全国第一个国际论坛零碳园区成为零碳建筑标杆。据测算，海南博鳌零碳园区项目预计2025年发电量可达1.1468亿千瓦时，碳减排量达117万吨。
 

BIPV市场潜力被严重低估

海南博鳌零碳园区之外，北京工体的零碳"金项圈"也一度颇受关注。近年来，国家陆续出台了《"十四五"建筑节能与绿色建筑发展规划》《加快推动建筑领域节能降碳工作方案》和《关于加快新型建筑工业化发展的若干意见》等一系列文件，为我国"十四五"及未来BIPV发展明确了目标与路径。BIPV备受业界看好。然而在实际发展中，BIPV仍存在应用比例低、公众对其认知程度不足等较为突出的问题。据统计，我国每年翻新屋面和新建屋面超过12亿平方米，BIPV可安装容量达2.4亿千瓦，还有大量的建筑立面可改造为会发电的墙面，但目前市场潜力被严重低估。此外，BIPV可应用于建筑、电力、材料、消防等多个领域，缺乏顶层统筹，标准体系分散问题突出。光伏建筑一体化预算标准、光伏建筑一体化设计标准、光伏建筑一体化验收标准、防火性能、结构安全、电气安全等关键技术标准缺失和全国性标准体系缺失。

多方协同推动BIPV发展

BIPV技术的推广不仅是对传统建筑能源模式的革新，更是推动绿色低碳转型的战略选择。全国两会期间，钟宝申结合长期的行业调研和观察，为BIPV发展建言献策。钟宝申建议，首先，未来可以通过政策引导、示范项目、媒体宣传和行业教育等多种途径，开展形式多样的BIPV宣传推广活动，提高社会认知度，促使BIPV从"技术示范"迈向"规模化应用"。其次，建议相关部门评估我国现有建筑改建和新建建筑潜力，结合光伏产业优势，在"十五五"期间，每年安排2000万千瓦（按发展潜力的10%考虑）的BIPV发展目标。最后，建立国家层面跨部门标准协调机制，以同时设计、同时施工、同时验收"Three Simultaneities"Policy guidance through methods, systematically improving from the national levelBIPVStandard system, promoting deep integration of photovoltaics and buildings. At the same time, strengthen international cooperation to promote"standards going abroad", building our country'sBIPVinternational competitive advantage in the industry.BIPVThe large-scale application of this is not only a technical issue but also a conceptual innovation. When every inch of the building's skin can"capture sunlight", zero-carbon buildings will release unlimited potential,"Good Houses"and will no longer remain a vision, but will become a vivid footnote of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
