The main objective of ecobuild shanghai 2006 is to pave the way for a sustainable urban development in China. As Shanghai has always been regarded as a model for the rest of China, successful developments here are likely to spread to other parts of the country.
 
 

ecobuild shanghai 2006 aims at promoting the concept of ecological building in Shanghai through:

 
  • raising awareness towards ecological building concepts and technologies
  • paving the way for German environmental and building products as well as services
 
 
why?
 
 
 
In a context of growing concern over energy shortages and rising oil prices, the Chinese government has set goals to foster energy efficiency. With a booming construction sector, China has a high potential to save energy in buildings, which account for half of the total energy consumed. Also standards exist for energy efficiency in construction since 1986, their effective implementation is taking place now.
 
 
what?
 
 

ecobuild, a cooperation project between the cities of Hamburg and Shanghai, is an awareness raising campaign resulting in an exhibition of buildings projects, showcasing innovative techniques and technologies on various building types in several districts of Shanghai.

 
 
how?
 
 
ecobuild consists of a year long communication campaign around the topics of ecological building, running in parallel to the construction of model projects.
 
 

Several sites in various Shanghai districts have been selected to demonstrate energy efficient, environmentally friendly technologies and concepts through demonstration projects. The buildings are designed to save 75% of energy compared to the average consumption in Shanghai. The fitting shall meet the highest technology and quality standards. Innovative water and wastewater infrastructure will be integrated. This includes water recycling, fertilizer recycling, energy efficiency and recovery in Circular-Material-Flow-Systems. These systems are designed to use renewable energy. They reduce the emission of greenhouse gases as well as the emissions of eutrophic substances on a very high level. The final goal is zero pollution. The Chinese developers of those projects benefit from technical assistance from German experts in terms of design, quality control, training, monitoring, evaluation and certification.

After the completion of the buildings in November 2006, professionals, technicians, academics, politics, and the general public will have the opportunity during the 4 weeks long open doors to visit the model units and experience the ecological building concepts.
