Doubly Gold Certified by Globally Recognized Building Standards: Midea Industrial Park Awarded LEED and WELL Gold

The project of Midea Building Technologies Industrial Park has been certified the LEED and WELL Gold. On September 16, LEED ID+C Gold Certification Award Ceremony was held in the Midea Building Technologies Industrial Park. Du Risheng, Managing Director of USGBC North Asia, awarded the project its distinguished gold plaque. The awarding ceremony was attended by Wang Xueni, Marketing Specialist of USGBC North Asia; Zhou Wenting, Sales Manager of Commodities and Industrial Equipment at Bureau Veritas; Zhang Shuai, Chief Operating Officer of Midea Building Technologies; Meng Tao, Director of Midea Building Technologies Research Institute; Yang Pengyu, Director of Solutions and Delivery at Midea Building Technologies; Wang Zuozhong, Head of Low Carbon Operations at Midea Building Technologies.

The LEED ID+C Gold Certification is a recognition of the outstanding efforts of Midea Building Technologies Industrial Park in building an environmentally-friendly and energy-saving community and positive response to China “3060” carbon neutral policy. The WELL Gold Certification was given in affirmation of the undertaking to prioritize  employees’ health, safety, and comfort. Being doubly awarded in gold certifications by two globally-recognized building rating system has proven that Midea Building Technologies’ endeavours in the field of green buildings have been acknowledged by the industry. 

The WELL Certification, awarded by the International WELL Building Institute from 2014, is the world’s first building standard that focuses on human health and well-being. WELL focuses its planning and operations  on ten core concepts that affect a person’s health and well-being: air, water, nutrition, light, movement, thermal comfort, sound, materials, mind and community. The standard is backed by research that spans from buildings to entire urban communities, aiming to support human health and well-being in community life, work, entertainment and other aspects through feasible actions and interventions. 

Du Risheng commended the zero-carbon feats attained by Midea Building Technologies Industrial Park during his visit. “The carbon-neutrality of a building should cover its entire life cycle. I’m very happy to see the zero-carbon results achieved in the life cycle of a building by Midea Building Technologies,” he said. “We will keep a close eye to Midea Building Technologies’ application of carbon-neutral building practices, and we look forward to working closer together with Midea Building Technologies in the field of net-zero architectures in the future.”

With the goal to reach peak carbon emissions before 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060, Midea Building Technologies will continue to uphold the concept of green and sustainable buildings to further innovate in the field of low-carbon architecture. We will persistently optimize intelligent building operation platforms to help transform quality industrial properties to environmental and sustainable buildings and finally into modern and intelligent architectures.
