Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development jointly issued the Action Plan for Promoting the Production and Application of Green Building Materials to promote the steady growth of the building materials industry, adjust the structure, transform the mode, benefit the people's livelihood, and better serve the development of new urbanization and green buildings.
According to the plan, by 2018, the proportion of green building materials production will be significantly increased, and the quality of development will be significantly improved. The proportion of green building materials applied in new buildings has reached 30%, the proportion of green building application has reached 50%, the application proportion of pilot demonstration projects has reached 70%, and the proportion of existing building renovation application has increased to 80%.
Among the ten major actions such as green manufacturing in the building materials industry and green building materials evaluation labeling announced in the plan, the promotion of steel and wood structure buildings ranked fourth. In public buildings such as culture and sports, education and medical care, and transportation hubs, steel structures will be actively adopted to develop steel structure houses; Steel structures will also be used in large quantities in industrial buildings and infrastructure. Promote the application of urban wood structure buildings, promote the use of wood structure buildings in government-invested schools, kindergartens, homes for the elderly, garden landscapes and other low-rise new public buildings, as well as urban flat slopes. Promote multi-storey wood-steel and wood-concrete mixed structure buildings, and focus on promoting wood structure buildings in areas and tourist resorts featuring wood frame buildings. In the construction of rural self-built houses and new rural settlements in economically developed areas, priority will be given to promoting the construction of wood-framed farmhouses. Support the use of crop straw, bamboo fiber, wood chips, etc. to develop biomass building materials, and encourage the development of bamboo building materials and bamboo structure buildings in areas rich in bamboo resources.
