Scope: This document outlines the content and requirements of the planning work for the construction of green low-carbon communities, and provides ideas for the construction of green low-carbon communities, construction fields, operation and management, as well as methods and processes for evaluating the construction level of green low-carbon communities. This document is applicable to the construction of new urban communities and existing communities that pursue green low-carbon development, as well as to self-evaluations and third-party evaluations of the construction level of green low-carbon communities. Main technical content: 6.2.1 Building systems: New buildings and existing building renovations must strictly comply with national energy-saving design standards. New buildings should utilize green building materials and adopt new green construction methods, meeting the standards of two-star or higher green buildings. For existing buildings, energy-saving renovations should be carried out in heating and cooling systems, lighting systems, and air conditioning systems. Outdated wiring and aging equipment should be inspected and repaired to prevent excessive energy loss. Based on solar energy resource conditions, building conditions, and energy demand, while ensuring the safety of building structures and fire safety, the potential for installing solar photovoltaic systems on building roofs, walls, ancillary facilities, and municipal utilities should be evaluated after assessing their suitability. Residents are encouraged to adopt green decoration practices, such as using green paints, furniture, water-saving devices, and energy-saving devices. Note 1: Green building materials refer to building products that reduce resource consumption, mitigate environmental impact, and feature energy-saving, emission-reduction, safety, health, convenience, and recyclability throughout their lifecycle. Note 2: Green buildings refer to high-quality buildings that conserv
