The Renovation and Co-construction Project of the Near-zero Carbon Emission Demonstration Community on Ganquan Road marks Shenzhen’s first such community. The project is divided into three main components: a community park, a design building, and a multi-story garage. It incorporates low-carbon technologies, including photovoltaic-storage-direct current-flexible grid systems, and features intelligent management systems like a carbon monitoring and display platform, a digital twin community, and intelligent parking solutions. The use of low-carbon and environmentally friendly materials, such as renewable aluminum, wood fiber, and blue-white photoelectric glass, showcases a model for the renovation of existing buildings and old communities towards near-zero carbon emissions. For its innovative approach, this project has been honored with the ‘China Habitat Environment Award 2023’.
