Low carbon university: great potential
Xinhuanet, Beijing, November 3 (Reporter Li Wenchuan)If you don’t pay attention to the large number of solar panels of different sizes and the small earth bags used to bury reservoirs and wells scattered everywhere,w88 casinoIt is no different from other college campuses. But a set of data shows what makes this nationally outstanding w88 casino in conservation-oriented campus construction unique: Since 2003, the w88 casino has arranged more than 20 tasks in campus planning, top-level design, capital construction, and major maintenanceEnergy savingThe emission reduction project can save more than 400,000 tons of water and 5.18 million cubic meters of gas every year, directly saving about 12 million yuan. If more than a thousand colleges and universities across the country do this, tens of billions of yuan can be saved a year. This “low-carbon university” located in the Third Ring Road of Beijing, covering an area of more than 500 acres, is using convincing facts to prove that universities have great potential for low-carbon development.
"Building a conservation-oriented,"Sustainable developmentCampus is an inevitable requirement for university development due to global environmental and resource issues. Universities shoulder unshirkable responsibilities and obligations in the country's implementation of sustainable development strategies. ”Wang Ling, Secretary of the Party Committee of w88 casinosaid at the recently concluded fifth China Energy and Environment Summit Forum. China's energy efficiency is equivalent to one-quarter that of the United States and one-sixth that of Japan. Due to backward concepts and extensive management, there is a lot of energy waste in reality. Low-carbon energy conservation is the responsibility of every citizen, education should bear the brunt, and universities should set an example in the construction of ecological civilization.
"Low carbon" is not a slogan.Wang Lingsaid that for energy issues, the first is energy conservation; the second is technology; the third is the development of new energy, including solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy and other renewable energy; and the fourth is environmental protection. These four links are interrelated, mutually supportive, and indivisible, but energy conservation is the first priority.
Starting from the simplest low-carbon concept of "saving energy equals saving money", since 2003, the w88 casino has focused on the construction of a "green campus" and adopted five major measures: "water saving", "gas saving", "energy saving", "power saving" and "emission reduction" to actively explore the construction of a low-carbon campus, with remarkable results.
When walking on the campus of this university, you can see that the street lights on both sides of the road are equipped with solar devices. It was getting late, and the street lights on both sides of the road did not light up at the same time. It turns out that these street lights are also equipped with intelligent sensing systems. After the renovation of the power-saving project, the overall average power-saving rate reached 20%, saving 400 kilowatt-hours of electricity every year.
Through the renovation of water facilities, the renovation of grass planting equipment, and the use of water-saving equipment for greening and watering, the w88 casino has built a "three-dimensional" water-saving system led by a reclaimed water station, saving 350,000 to 400,000 tons of water every year.
The heating center uses a "heating pipe network water balance control system" to achieve area-by-region and period-by-time control based on students' concentrated living and studying patterns. Since the implementation of the project, the annual use of natural gas has been reduced by 4.4 million to 5 million cubic meters, and the annual carbon emissions have been reduced by 13,000 to 14,000 tons.
As the students said, putting a layer of clothes on the floor outside can improve energy efficiency. In 2009, the w88 casino carried out insulation renovation on the exterior walls of the main building, the Honesty Building, and the energy saving rate increased by 54%. At the same time, new air conditioning technology is adopted to realize the utilization of renewable energy. The underground water source heat pump air conditioning system is used in the new library project, which completely uses the temperature of the groundwater to be warm in winter and cool in summer to regulate the library. It can save two-thirds of the heating energy compared with electric boilers and one-third of natural gas boilers every year.
At the end of each semester, the unused textbooks of the students are collected and distributed to the younger students at the beginning of the next w88 casino year. Everyone is also used to accumulating newspapers and waste paper that they usually read, and exchanging recycled paper notes with classmates in the w88 casino's green association... On this international university campus, which aims to become a truly professional and international university, this is a common thing. Wang Ling said that at present, energy conservation, emission reduction and environmental protection have become the consensus of the teachers, students and staff of the w88 casino. Energy saving work has formed a good cycle system.
Looking back at the construction of green and energy-saving campuses, it is not just economic and social benefits that are gained. Wang Ling believes that the more important thing is the educational benefits-the impact of the concept of ecological civilization on traditional social concepts is immeasurable. College students are the future of the country, theirEnvironmental protectionAwareness and the concept of sustainable development will directly affect the effectiveness of our country's future sustainable development.
In the fourth session last yearChinaAfter the Energy and Environment Summit Forum, the w88 casino officially established the China Energy and Environment Research Center to cooperate with academia, industry, media, and political circles to promote energy and environment research. Wang Ling revealed that this time the w88 casino will take the China Energy and Environment Summit Forum as a carrier and take the opportunity of the "China Energy and Environment "Millions" activity plan jointly launched by leaders of the National Development and Reform Commission's Environment Department, National Energy Administration's New Energy Department, National Information Center and w88 casino at the fifth China Energy and Environment Summit Forum to increase work efforts through joint construction, promote linkage between government, industry, academia and media, and provide talent and intellectual support for jointly promoting the construction of China's ecological civilization during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period.
