Recently, with the theme of “Digital empowerment, Building Smart Sustainable Buildings”, the 2023 Schneider Electric Commercial Real Estate and Retail Industry Sustainability Salon was successfully concluded in Pudong, Shanghai. The event was co-sponsored by the Carbon Neutral Action Alliance, Schneider Electric, Lujiazui Group and Suyun Technology, bringing together many guests to focus on the carbon reduction practice of retail business under the background of “dual carbon”. The relevant person in charge of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Pudong New Area and Lujiazui Group attended the event to discuss the high-quality future of the construction industry.

Building energy consumption is an important part of China’s energy consumption, and commercial real estate is an important field to implement “green building”. Under the background of “dual carbon”, how to turn challenges into opportunities for commercial buildings, achieve digital management and maintenance of buildings through carbon emission data visualization and other means, help commercial operators reduce carbon emissions and operation and maintenance expenses, and attract more like-minded consumers, is the core topic of concern for enterprises.

Peng Feng, business director of Shanghai Environment Exchange, gave an in-depth interpretation of the carbon market policy under the background of “dual carbon” for the guests at the event. He said: “‘ Double carbon ‘has driven huge industrial opportunities and also pointed the way for the transformation of the construction industry. The establishment of a sound carbon emission trading market can better promote industrial restructuring, accelerate economic and social development and comprehensive green and low-carbon transformation.”
