GF Piping Systems China Yangzhou plant awarded highest national level of green industrial building projects in China
After nearly 5 years preparation and application, GF Piping Systems’ Yangzhou plant has been successfully awarded three stars in the Green Building Certification Report, the highest national level of green industrial building projects in China.
This green industrial building project was based on China's national standard "Green Industrial Building Evaluation Standard" GB/T5087-2013. GF Piping Systems plant was rated in seven aspects including the space for sustainable construction, energy saving and use of energy, water saving and use of water resources, material saving and use of material resources, control of outdoor environment and pollutant, indoor environment and occupational health, and operational management. The three-star certification of green industrial building design label will only be awarded to the projects who fully meet those requirements, as did GF Piping Systems’ Yangzhou plant.
“Our Yangzhou plant project is one step forward on our way as a sustainability leader. We adopted a series of environmentally friendly technologies including geothermal heat pump air conditioning, air compressor waste heat recycling, a roof cooling tower, integrated our COOL-FIT cooling water piping system, roof rainwater collection, solar photovoltaic power generation, and more. The energy consumption and water intake per unit produced achieved the leading position in domestic level,” states He Yafeng, Plant Manager GF Piping Systems Yangzhou. In addition, the overall building adopted lightweight steel structure, used recyclable building materials, highly efficient design of heat preservation, ventilation and lights, and enhanced treatment measures for waste gas, solid waste and noise.
