Tianjin Eco-City Green Building Research Institute was invited to participate in the preparation of "Healthy Building Evaluation Standards"

On March 1, 2016, the launching meeting and the first working meeting of the preparation of the "Healthy Building Evaluation Standard" was successfully held in Beijing. Tianjin Eco-City Green Building Research Institute was invited to attend the meeting.

This standard preparation work is jointly initiated by the China Academy of Building Science and the China Society of Urban Science, and the participating units include: Chongqing University, Tsinghua University, Chinese Academy of Military Medical Sciences, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Shanghai Academy of Building Science (Group) Co., LTD., Zhejiang University, Tianjin Eco-City Green Building Research Institute, National Construction Engineering Quality Supervision and Inspection Center and many other well-known units in the field of architecture and medicine.

The "Healthy building Evaluation Standard" is positioned in the deepening direction of the multi-dimensional development of green buildings, and takes the "health" attribute of users as the core, which is still a precedent in the field of green buildings in China. The standard strives to meet the growing health needs of people at present, starting from the indoor and outdoor environment, air quality, water, facilities, building materials and other aspects related to the building users, taking the intuitive feeling and health effect of building users as key evaluation indicators, focusing on making users truly become the beneficiary group of green and healthy buildings.

The launch meeting clarified the importance of the standard preparation work, Wang Qingqin, President of China Academy of Building Science, Wang Youwei, chairman of China Green Building and Energy Conservation Professional Committee, and Meng Chong, director of Green Building Research Center of China Urban Science Research Society, respectively elaborated on the background, significance and research status of the standard preparation work. The experts discussed the standard structure framework, implementation plan, division of tasks, schedule and other important contents, and formed a consensus to ensure the orderly and efficient development of the next stage of the preparation work.

Tianjin Eco-City Green Building Research Institute, as a participating unit in the preparation of standards, undertakes the basic work of the preparation of health standards. Its significance is to tap the inherent potential of green buildings in building health performance as a green building practice unit. At present, green buildings pay more attention to the performance indicators of building energy saving, water saving, material saving, land saving, indoor environment, etc., and the significance of these indicators on people's health needs to be further implemented and explored. During the meeting, Qi Jianqiang, president of the Green Construction Institute, put forward the direction and technical measures that can be implemented in healthy buildings from the perspective of green buildings for the purpose and significance of the preparation of healthy building standards, which has been recognized by the experts attending the meeting. Green and healthy building is the direction and trend of the future development of the construction industry, and the compilation of healthy building standards effectively promotes the development of this trend.
