Core Viewpoint - Shaanxi Xixian New Area's Konggang New City and Fengxi New City have been selected as the first batch of low-carbon and near-zero carbon county (district) and park pilots in Shaanxi Province, focusing on green and low-carbon development through energy utilization, building energy efficiency, and smart management [1][2]. Group 1: Low-Carbon Development Initiatives - The two new cities are promoting low-carbon and near-zero carbon park construction by integrating local conditions and focusing on energy transition, building energy efficiency, traffic optimization, and industrial upgrading [2]. - The Xi'an Xianyang International Airport T5 terminal, which opened in February, incorporates numerous green design elements and has been recognized for four low-carbon cases at a major airport development conference [2]. Group 2: Renewable Energy and Technology Integration - The China Western Science and Technology Innovation Port's Yuanju Building integrates seven energy-saving and emission-reduction technologies, including solar photovoltaic facades that allow the building to achieve self-sufficiency in daily office electricity [3]. - The building's smart green energy system covers an area of 2,750 square meters, generating approximately 400,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity annually [3]. Group 3: Clean Heating Solutions - Fengxi New City is implementing a clean heating technology that utilizes deep geothermal energy to address high carbon emissions during winter heating [4]. - This technology involves drilling down 2,000 to 3,000 meters to extract underground heat, which is then distributed to buildings via heat pumps [4]. Group 4: Digital Transformation and Energy Management - Konggang New City leverages its unique resources, including the Xi'an Xianyang International Airport, to develop advanced manufacturing, aviation support, and high-end services [5]. - A digital transformation office has been established to promote low-carbon aviation and explore green smart airport solutions, utilizing Building Information Modeling (BIM) for efficient construction management [5][6]. Group 5: Research and Development Focus - The construction of zero-carbon parks is heavily reliant on continuous technological innovation, with a need for increased R&D investment in clean energy, energy efficiency, and carbon capture technologies [7]. - In 2024, Fengxi New City will collaborate with various institutions to establish a carbon neutrality innovation research center, aiming to accelerate the implementation of low-carbon technologies [7].
