About the project
China Merchants Bank has commenced construction on a 2.2 sq km artificial island off the coast of Zhangzhou City, near Xiamen, China. Together with real estate manager, DTZ, BEE has been hired as the green building consultants to examine aspects of sustainability and how they can be implemented into this project. Using the LEED for Neighborhood Development system as a benchmark, our study examined a myriad of characteristics including:
- Transportation
- Urban planning
- Energy generation
- Building efficiency
We focused not only on the technical feasibility of these solutions but also on the economic aspects that would make them viable. This exercise was just the first part of a larger ongoing project that is aiming to achieve LEED Certification upon its completion.
