Ningbo has decided to start 145 building projects in five groups which adopt renewable energies According to Ningbo Housing Construction Committee, these buildings are 8.03 million square meters in total, the size of 115 football grounds. In the life span of these buildings, 1.4 million tons of standard coal can be saved.
As a demonstrative city of China for buildings adopting renewable energies, Ningbo has in recent years got 70 million yuan from the state as special funds for the projects. With the subsidies of 80,500,000 yuan from the local government, the city will invest over 150 million yuan in the construction of demonstrative buildings with renewable energies. The city has released a series of policies that, for instance, all the buildings in the projects should have integrated solar thermal water system and that office buildings and large public buildings should have at least one renewable energy.
"Calculated by the life span of 50 years, the 145 projects can save 1.4 million tons of standard coal and reduce the emission of 35,000 tons of CO2, 3.8 times the amount of coal saved in the last year by closing down the backward production facilities," said a related authority of Ningbo Municipal Commission of Construction.
