description
Planning, fiscal support, technology innovation, public awareness and
information policies
Since 11th Five Year Plan period (2005-2010), Chengdu has taken great
efforts in the field of improving energy saving in buildings, and green
1
building as well as REN building application are core elements in this
respect. There have been strong policy guidance/push and support
2
provided by central government and Sichuan provincial government such
as Sichuan Green Building Evaluation Standards (2012), Sichuan 12 FYP
on Building Renewable Energy Application (2012), and Sichuan Green
3
Building Action Implementation Plan (2013) .
Since being nominated as one of the first national REN building
application pilot cities in China in 2010 and its Shuangliu county becoming
national REN building application pilot county, Chengdu has accelerated
its work in promoting green building and REN building application.
Besides getting fiscal support from the central government, Chengdu has
been making efforts from municipal level. Chengdu introduced a series of
supportive policies and action plans, including:
 Chengdu Municipal Building Energy Efficiency Management
Regulations (2005- ongoing)
 Chengdu Ecological Residential District Evaluation Index System
(2005- ongoing)
 Chengdu Building Energy Efficiency 11 FYP (2005-2010)
 Chengdu Building Energy Efficiency 65% Demonstration Projects’
Design Code (2005- ongoing)
 Chengdu Building Renewable Energy Application Demonstration
City Implementation Plan (2010)
 Chengdu Building Renewable Energy Application Resource
Assessment (2011)
 Chengdu Building Renewable Energy Application 12 FYP Special
Plan (2011-2015)
 Chengdu Building Energy Efficiency 12 FYP (2011-2015)
 Chengdu 12 FYP on Energy Saving of Public Institutions (2011-

Green building is the buildings that maximize conservation of resources (energy, land, water, materials, including use of LED
green lighting products) over the life circles, through technological progress and scientific management, to protect the
environment, reduce pollutions, provide people with healthy, suitable and efficient use of space and architecture in harmony
with nature.
2
National policies and supports include: Green Building Evaluation Standards (2006), Management Measures for Green
Building Evaluation Labelling (Trial) (2007), Detailed Technical Guide for Green Building Evaluation (Trial) (2007), Detailed
Implementation Guide for Innovative Green Buildings Awards (2010) and Assessment Standards for Innovative Green
Buildings (2010), Guide for Green Industry Building Evaluation (2010) and Evaluation Standards for Green Construction of
Building Projects (2010), and one industry standard, namely Design Codes for Green Design of Civil Buildings (2010), Detailed
Technical Guide for Green Hospital Buildings, and began to update the Green Building Evaluation Standards (2011),
Implementation Opinions on Promoting the Application of Renewable Energy in Buildings (2011), Notice on Accelerating the
Application and Scale- up of Solar Water Heating Systems (2011), and Notice on the Organization of the Annual Program of
Integrated PV Buildings Demonstration Projects in 2012 (2012), Green Building Evaluation Standards (revised version, 2013).

13
Provisions: no details on supporting level available
For renewable energy building application
A benchmark subsidy of 50 million RMB per city (with the possibility to
raise to maximum level of 80 million RMB) is provided to national RE
application demonstration cities by channelling it through provincial
government, over three years with 60% of the predicted budget in the
first year and the rest according to real progress. The total amount is
expected to be spent in two categories: real projects (>=90%) and
14
capacity building (MoF and MOHURD, 2009)
Incentives have been given to developers of demonstration projects of RE
15
application in buildings (MoF and MOHURD, 2006) , developers of
projects of solar PV application in buildings as well as producers of solar
16
PV products (MoF, 2009) . Since 2006, the central government has set
up a special fund for RE application in buildings with specific core support
areas (MoF and MOHURD, 2006).
During 11th FYP period, Chengdu has utilized 15.43 million yuan national
subsidies for building RE application projects, and achieved around 1
million m2 of areas.
Municipal support (2013): Chengdu Renewable Energy Application in
Buildings Demonstration Projects provisions specify the criteria and
procedure for applying to be demonstration projects as well as the
17
financial support:
Financial source: central government special funds and local movement’s
matching funds
Way and level of subsidies: grants, awards and subsidies loans. Grants
are provided based on area size, in principle no more than 50 Yuan/ m 2.
For R&D investment, during 11th FYP period, Chengdu government
invested over 30 million yuan in a series of R&D projects.

More motivation of real estate companies and demonstration projects’
developers
Improve the institutional capacity of authorities and market players
Policy framework, standards and fiscal policies get more detailed and
advanced
Integral approach - takes other aspects e. g. water into account
Cost is still too high and incentive not enough
Researchers estimate the added cost of green buildings is: 96.4, 276
and 470 yuan/m2 for one to three stars, accounting for the overall
cost of building 3%-4%、6%-7%、8%-9% and government subsidies
Opportunities

are not enough to fill the gap.
Lack of attractiveness for real estate and end users
Very few players interested in the field
End user buy-in quite low: some survey showed 50% would favor
19
normal building to green building due to price differences ; overall,
the benefits of green buildings are seen as ―long-term‖ and ―invisible‖
Administration approach in form of government-led subsidy and lack
of market-based incentive e.g. engage private banks to provide
innovative financial products/serves
Lack of quality check and life-circle monitoring of the demonstration
and subsidized projects
Strong push and support from national government
