The Active House standard is recognised in China
The Architectural Society of China officially approved the “Active Building Evaluation Standard” and released as the first building evaluation standard in this field.
The Chairman of the Active Architecture Academic Committee of the Architectural Society of China mentioned: “When it comes to Active House, it mainly emphasizes the initiative of designers and users, and pays attention to the balance of people, architecture and nature in the process of design, construction and operation. As a ‘preacher’, I hope that Active House’s sustainable concept will be understood by more people.”
Moreover, Sun Yimin, Dean of the School of Architecture, South China University of Technology said that “The Active Building Evaluation Standard uses streamlined, perceptible and verifiable indicators to guide the design, construction and operation of products, and to explore more innovative lifestyles, tools and products. I hope that people with lofty ideals will join the Active House family and promote together the standard.”
The first project – Shenzhen Construction Testing Center – has been validated and approved according to the new standard.
