2014 - Watershed of building materials industry

On the one hand, there is a serious surplus of traditional building materials such as steel and cement; on the other side, there is a hunger for green, environmentally-friendly building materials, energy-saving sanitary ware, and indoor healthy fresh air systems. How will the building materials industry choose?

2014 is a major watershed for China's building materials industry!

Half of the industry is seawater and half of the flame is still very serious. A person in charge of the China Building Materials Distribution Association pointed out that once the traditional building materials industry encounters more macro-control, the new round of destocking and production pressure may be even more serious than imagined. After all, building materials and parts are tight. Rely on the real estate industry to survive. At present, a series of financial risks in the steel trade industry have caused similar building industry colleagues to be very cautious.

But not all the news was bad news. In the days when the “**” representative and the committee members reported on one after another, a message that made the market slightly exciting was heard. In response to the severe hazy weather, Beijing Shunyi International School spent US$5 million was installed in two indoor sports halls with an independent air filtration system. The school stated that “this will ensure that students will not be affected by haze.” The industry believes that if every school can build such an air filtration system, not to mention the country's primary and secondary schools, is a primary and secondary school in Beijing, such a large market will allow the industry to double its share. The person in charge of the above-mentioned China Building Materials Distribution Association said: “As long as we grasp such market adjustment opportunities, produce marketable new products, and meet the people’s needs in indoor health, we have nothing to eat in this industry. Live work?"

It is no wonder that the responsible person of the Ministry of Industry and Materials Raw Materials Division recently analyzed the situation of the building materials industry this year, saying that “we must develop green building materials as the overall leader in transformation and upgrading”.

Eliminating the traditional backward building materials industry's total capacity, from the growth of quantity to quality, is an urgent task for the entire industry. I believe that this year's ** will accelerate the "green building, green building materials development proposals, proposals." China Building Decoration Association official said.

During the interview in the “**” period, several members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in the construction industry have proposed that the "Evolution Theory" should be publicized in the industry. In particular, the green building materials industry must first develop the top-level design in the development process. The green building materials promotion and application action plan and roadmap, the introduction of green building evaluation logo management methods and technical requirements, and then popularize the concept of green consumption in the entire people, through the activation of green consumption to expand the demand for green building materials.

It is understood that the emergence of the industry's watershed has given new interpretations and new enhancements to the concept of "human settlements." The Central Urbanization Working Conference proposed that residents “see mountains, see water, and remember homesickness”. The improvement of the human settlement environment and the improvement of indoor health have become unavoidable issues. In particular, whether the haze will hit the capital again during the “**” period will become a hot spot for the society. It is in such a large environment that elimination of outdated total building material production capacity and encouragement and support of development of “light building materials” with less environmental pressure have become the trend of the times. Kuang Xianming, director of the Institute of Economic Research at the China (Hainan) Institute of Reform and Development, also expects This year, the National Committee of the Communist Party of China and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference will have more proposals and proposals on environmental protection and green development than previous ones.

Then, why do people are interested in the green development of the building materials industry year after year? The director of Chengdu City Construction Committee Zhang Zhenghong said that the key is that it involves the interests of the people around them. First, if green construction and green decoration are adopted, the construction site will be less dusty. , less discharge of sewage; Second, if you use less traditional building materials, more green supply, you can use less electricity, less water, energy conservation; third is to implement a green development system based on building industrialization, housing industrialization, cover The components of the house can be prefabricated in the factory and then assembled on the site. In this way, the entire production process can reduce more waste emissions and prevent the occurrence of haze.

In the past, Shandong Jinjing Group had always been manufacturing ordinary glass, and it was not a waste of time for product backlogs in recent years. During the “**” period, representatives of the National People’s Government and the Chairman of the Jinjing Group stated that they have made up their minds to abandon low-grade products, and jointly developed with international well-known companies. They have continuously put on 3 new top-class glass production lines and become the only ones in the world. Producing 18-meter long ultra-white glass companies, product orders are now scheduled for the second half of this year. “By increasing investment in R&D of green building materials, extending the industrial chain and extending to high-value-added products, the company has renewed its vitality.” ** said with deep feelings.

In the “**” place that was recently completed, a total of 13 provinces indicated that this year will focus on the development of the green building materials industry, turning the polluted grey industry into a clean green industry. According to incomplete statistics, governments in Suqian, Jiangsu, Shenyang, Henan, Ma'anshan, Anhui, and Jinghai, Tianjin have all actively promoted the construction of green building materials industry parks and tried to promote green building materials through agglomeration effects.

For the cultivation and support of the green building materials concerned by the society, Huang Jiangg, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chief researcher of the China Academy of Railway Sciences, suggested that the government can implement the subsidies for green building materials to the fine decoration of the residential buildings, which can effectively reduce the amount of people buying green. The cost of construction and low-carbon construction also encourages development companies and project units to increase their investment in science and technology and R&D efforts to form a market-driven mechanism.

Zhu Lieyu, the representative of the Chinese government, believes that it is necessary to curb the repeated construction of the traditional building materials industry, and to rectify the illegal discharge deadlines of those polluting enterprises. If the environmental protection department does not act on those polluting enterprises in law enforcement, whether it is the local “**” or the national “**”, it is necessary to set up a “voting evaluation mechanism” to take “punishment” or even take classes for the environmental protection departments that do not take actions. .

In fact, in the recent period, the development of green building materials is not a policy- or market-level call but an action in procurement. Recently, China's first regional tender for green building materials was launched in Tianjin’s Yujiapu Financial District. The list of green building materials includes ceramic tiles, sanitary ware, lamps, carpets, plasterboards, and sunshades. It covers five high-rise office buildings in the financial start-up area. Underground commercial street. According to local responsible persons, the procurement of green building materials highlighted three distinct features: first, the use of a green supply chain management system for the first time in the country; second, the mandatory adoption of green environmental protection standards for the first time in the country; and third, the use of open tendering. , reflects fair competition.

In addition to green building materials, the development of lightweight walls is also considered to be the hot topic of this year's “**”. At present, Europe and the United States, Japan and other developed countries have adopted lightweight building materials as the first choice for promoting the modernization of the housing industry. According to report, Japan's light building materials accounted for 64% of the total amount of wall materials, the United States accounted for 47%, and France accounted for 41%. The proportion of light building materials in China is only 7%, far behind developed countries.

Experts believe that the reason why China's green building materials and light building materials enjoy a good momentum of development, in addition to the large environment, also has three major conditions for development: First, through the transformation and development, production capacity has a substantial increase; Second, through structural adjustment The upgrading of product up-shifts was significantly accelerated. Third, breakthroughs were made in some important technologies, and technological equipment was also significantly improved. On the eve of the "**" meeting, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology further stated on its official website: "We must continue to nurture and expand emerging industries such as green building materials and composite materials, and work together with relevant departments to develop green building certification standards and methods, and compile the "Clean Building Materials Catalog". Guide and promote the development of green building materials to create more internal and external conditions.

Of course, the development of green building materials is not only a high-value and rapid investment, but also requires more leverage. In the words of Luo Xia, a representative of the National People's Government from Shaanxi, he said: “Green development cannot abandon some good traditions, such as cool caves in Yan'an that are warm in winter and cool in summer, and insulation walls made of straw in Xinjiang. Old caverns and dry barriers can be demolished, but the largest The idea of ​​saving resources and reducing pollution in a limited way and providing people with a harmonious and harmonious structure with nature can not be lost.” She also cited examples such as the long sunshine time in Xichang, which is suitable for promoting the use of solar energy, and the Yi nationality's mirage, northern courtyard, and Miao people. Such as Diaojiaolou, our senior craftsmen have long been using and promoting green building materials.

Although half of this industry is seawater and half is flame, the situation that more seawater than flame has formed. Strengthen the green building materials industry and guide the green consumption of the entire nation. Gradually consensus has been reached within and outside the industry.
