Wind and solar now account for 37% of the total power capacity in the country, an 8% increase from 2022, and widely expected to surpass coal capacity, which is 39% of the total right now, in 2024. Cumulative annual utility-scale solar & wind power capacity in China, in gigawatts (GW)
From 2006 to 2010, as the Chinese government paid attention to and promoted green buildings, the research content also increased. Specifically, the research focused on energy conservation, green building market demand and financing, investment, and the green circular economy.
As the sustainable architecture concept is increasingly popularized and promoted, the green-building market is gradually developing. In 2021, the Chinese government announced the construction of 100 national-level green building model areas by 2030 which will provide more opportunities and development potential for the green-building industry .
All told, 2023 saw unprecedented wind and solar growth in China. The unabated wave of construction guarantees that China will continue leading in wind and solar installation in the near future, far ahead of the rest of the world.
The diverse range of China's green building projects, as highlighted in the case studies of Shanghai Chenghuaxinyuan Project, Shanghai Changning District, Mini Sky City in Hunan, and Suzhou Taihu New City in Jiangsu Province (as shown in Table 2), underscores the multifaceted nature of the country's sustainable development initiatives.
