Project Case | Exploration of Zero-Carbon Park Design: Zhongguancun (Yanqing) UAV Industrial Park

The Zhongguancun (Yanqing) UAV Industrial Park is a key industrial park jointly developed by Zhongguancun Development Group and the Yanqing District Government. Upon completion, the project will be developed into a low-altitude industry comprehensive innovation center integrating cutting-edge UAV R&D and manufacturing, hard-tech innovation incubation, high-growth enterprise acceleration, green and low-carbon technology exploration, and authoritative system testing and certification. The park fully implements the planning and design requirements of a zero-carbon park in the field of low-carbon ecological design. Led by Zhongguancun Development Group, the industrial park is scheduled for completion in 2026. It will be a specialized park integrating R&D, offices, production, and living, with a total investment of 390 million yuan, a total land area of 17,400 square meters, and a planned total construction area of 44,600 square meters. The main part of the park consists of four R&D and manufacturing spaces.

Integrating landscape and architecture to create ecological axes and three-dimensional courtyards, maximizing landscape views

 

Sunken courtyards, roof terraces, and accessible rooftops extend vertical space, creating multifunctional and composite park office spaces

 

 

Low-Carbon System

 

 

Overall Planning

Utilize sunken courtyards to improve natural lighting conditions in underground spaces, avoiding windowless spaces as much as possible.

Use large trees as the greening framework, adopting a combination of trees, shrubs, and grasses to create a plant landscape with rich layers and staggered arrangements. The coverage rate of trees and shrubs is greater than 40%.

Shading facilities can reduce the urban heat island intensity. The shading area ratio of outdoor activity spaces is greater than 30%.

To maintain ecological balance and improve biodiversity, the ratio of food source plants should be reasonably planned, enriching the quantity and variety, with a food source plant rate greater than 20%.

 

 

 

Green Transportation

There are two bus stops within 500 meters of this project, namely Kangzhuang Community and Kangzhuang Community East Entrance.

 

New energy charging devices and the charging process can serve as a buffer pool for the park's renewable energy, improving the stability of the green power system to a certain extent. The ratio of motor vehicle charging parking spaces is 25%.

 

To facilitate low-carbon and green travel and provide power support for new energy non-motor vehicles, the park should set up an electric non-motor vehicle charging area, with an area of approximately 100㎡.

 

The park sets up a 30km/h speed limit zone and a cautious driving zone, and sets up speed reduction devices.

 

 

 

Ecological Greenways

Walking or jogging is a convenient and popular way to exercise.

Green development is people-oriented. To allow park personnel to get close to nature, strengthen their bodies, relieve stress, and balance their minds, the park plans smooth and continuous fitness trails to create a comfortable and healthy exercise environment.

The project creates three levels of public greenway spaces, with health trails running through the park and the park area.

The length of the health trail is greater than 600 meters, and the width is not less than 1.25 meters.

 

 

Green Energy

This project adopts a renewable energy heating and cooling source scheme. In summer, it uses a combination of geothermal heat pumps and air source heat pumps for cooling; in winter, it uses a combination of geothermal heat pumps and air source heat pumps for heating. The installed capacity of the renewable energy system for cooling and heating accounts for 100% of the total capacity.

 

Photovoltaic power generation panels are installed in 50% of the roof area, with a total installed capacity of 365kw. The total installed capacity of electricity in the park is 5000kw, accounting for 7.3%.

 

The proportion of renewable energy used is 37.21%.

 

 

Green Building

Under the background of ecological civilization construction and the dual-carbon strategy, the large-scale construction of high-quality green buildings is of great significance to energy saving and carbon reduction in the urban and rural construction field. The proportion of green buildings in this project: two-star and above 100%.

 

The thermal performance of the building enclosure structure directly affects the heating and air conditioning load and energy consumption of the building, and is a key link in achieving building energy saving and carbon reduction. The improvement rate of the thermal performance of the enclosure structure in this project is greater than 10%.

 

A suitable proportion of operable exterior windows is conducive to introducing natural ventilation, enhancing air circulation and heat dissipation. Reasonably utilizing natural ventilation to eliminate indoor residual heat and humidity is also an effective means of building energy saving. The ventilation and air exchange area ratio of this project is greater than 10%.

Water Resource Management

Sunken green spaces generally refer to green spaces with a certain storage capacity that can be used to regulate and purify runoff rainwater. The proportion of sunken green spaces in this project is 60%.

 

Rain gardens are a type of bioretention facility that can reduce peak runoff flow, total runoff volume, and runoff pollution to a certain extent. This project plans to construct a rain garden with an area of approximately 150㎡.

 

High-efficiency irrigation refers to water-saving irrigation methods such as micro-irrigation, seepage irrigation, and low-pressure pipe irrigation. This project plans to use micro-sprinkler irrigation (soil moisture sensing + rain closure), with a proportion of 100%.

 

The adoption of water-saving appliances should comply with current national standards, improving the water use efficiency of the park from the source, reducing water and wastewater volume, and thus achieving the goal of saving water resources. In this project, all sanitary appliances will have a water efficiency rating of level 2, with over 50% achieving level 1.

Smart Supervision

This project, combining actual conditions, constructs and deploys a smart platform including energy management and carbon emission management.

Carbon Emission Monitoring System: A digital platform that takes carbon reduction as its core goal, using technologies such as the Internet of Things, the Internet, big data, and artificial intelligence, to comprehensively integrate the functions of carbon emission calculation, monitoring, analysis, and control in the park.

Energy Management System: An information management system supported by technologies such as the Internet of Things and big data, which collects, transmits, stores, statistically analyzes, and uploads information on the generation, storage, and consumption of various energy sources. It achieves refined management through precise measurement, real-time monitoring, intelligent processing, and dynamic control.

 

 

Visitor Route

To promote the development of low-carbon ecological parks, enhance the park's reputation and competitiveness, strengthen the demonstration radiation effect, improve the park's social benefits, and showcase the park's advanced low-carbon ecological concepts and green technologies, a complete and coherent visitor route is planned to systematically showcase the technological achievements of the low-carbon ecological park.

 

Through the visitor route, visitors can intuitively understand the park's low-carbon ecological concepts and development vision in the actual built environment.
