First Pan-Greater Bay Area Low-Carbon Ecology Co-creation Competition
The purpose of the First Pan-Greater Bay Area Low-Carbon Ecology Co-creation Competition (hereinafter referred to as “the Competition”) is to encourage and promote low-carbon ecological innovation in the Greater Bay Area, foster innovation and entrepreneurship, enhance environmental awareness, and look toward the future. It aims to advance the intelligent upgrading of buildings through smart technologies, strengthen harmonious coexistence between humans, buildings, and nature, deepen understanding of the laws governing human-nature ecosystems, and achieve sustainable development. By creating a platform for exchange, the competition seeks to attract top talents, technical teams, and enterprises from home and abroad to jointly explore paths for low-carbon ecological development and advance ecological civilization construction in the region. Additionally, it serves as a showcase and promotion platform for low-carbon ecological innovations, providing significant impetus for the growth of this industry. Through the competition, new business models, technologies, and products can be identified and nurtured, driving the development of the low-carbon ecological economy, enhancing industrial competitiveness, and contributing to sustainable development in the Greater Bay Area while achieving balanced economic growth and ecological protection. The competition places strong emphasis on co-creation, promoting cooperation and communication among innovative and entrepreneurial teams, encouraging diverse innovation models, strengthening connections within green low-carbon industrial chains, and advancing the development of the low-carbon ecological industry. It utilizes advanced technologies to digitize, intelligentize, and decarbonize buildings, setting new directions for green smart buildings. By promoting green low-carbon development and continuously improving the ecological environment, and by integrating exchanges and advancements in green low-carbon living environments, sustainable building design, and related technologies from domestic and international universities, the competition fosters close integration of industry, academia, and research. It leverages the talent strengths of universities, uses the competition as a platform, and relies on innovative practices to advance the seamless integration of art, aesthetics, urban-rural planning, city design, green low-carbon architecture, building and environmental (equipment) design, landscape ecological design, interior design, photovoltaic building design, road traffic design, structural design, plumbing design, smart building electrical design, cost estimation, intelligent construction design, smart building/park operation systems design, industrial design, and green building project evaluation management—enabling comprehensive innovation and systematic integration across these fields. It promotes the transformation of green and low-carbon training models across various disciplines, thereby enabling collaboration among multiple fields, complementing each other’s strengths, and fully leveraging the advantages of every discipline. This fosters a highly integrated green and low-carbon building ecosystem, contributing to rural revitalization and the achievement of China’s dual-carbon goals through the efforts of the Greater Bay Area, and working together to build a beautiful and digital China.
track-setting(I) Design Proposal Track
Track A: Co-created design for an advanced experimental complex based on BIM (taking Building 6 of Guangzhou Jingzheng Science and Technology Park as an example to create a new hub for industry-university-research collaboration in education, enterprises, and talent training), aiming to establish an intelligent green and low-carbon operation center that integrates architecture with art and technology. (Utilizing virtual simulation technology + information technology BIM + building physics simulation calculations + carbon emission calculations + building intelligence + metaverse). Project documents can be downloaded at: https://pan.baidu.com/s/1t8Qfvt7t5gInpj1urmZfvQ?pwd=STDS#Access code: STDS. (For this track, you may choose a building with a similar area and scale; the difference should not exceed ±5%). Track B: The “Humans and Rural Areas” Plan focused on returning to nature (planning or renovation solutions for rural building ecosystems that integrate building physics based on ergonomics, drone technology, environmental factors, and meteorological equipment testing). Track C: Competition for instrument and equipment works (designs or models) submitted by enterprises, individuals, and university teachers and students. Higher Vocational Group: Full-time junior college students enrolled in non-adult education and officially registered before the competition registration deadline. Participants: Higher Vocational Group: Full-time undergraduate students in non-adult education who are officially registered before the competition registration start date. Undergraduate Group: Full-time undergraduate students in non-adult education who are officially registered before the competition registration start date. Master’s and PhD Group: Full-time master’s and doctoral students in non-adult education who are officially registered before the competition registration start date. Competition Format: Teams are required to participate; interdisciplinary collaboration is allowed, and multi-discipline, cross-grade, school-enterprise partnerships are encouraged, with the school as the leading entity. Each team in the proposal track should consist of 3–6 members, accompanied by 2–3 supervisors. Each student can only join one team, and each supervisor can guide up to two teams. The institution where the team leader is affiliated serves as the representative for that team. No more than two teams from each institution may advance to the finals. (II) R&D and Engineering Track: A. Planned architectural solutions applying advanced intelligent, smart manufacturing, and low-carbon technologies (including papers and patent achievements). B. Achievements of completed green and low-carbon engineering projects. C. Actual architectural projects implementing advanced intelligent, smart manufacturing, and low-carbon technologies. Eligible Participants: Universities, university design institutes, research institutions, testing agencies, real estate companies, construction, and municipal engineering firms, etc. Evaluation Method: Comprehensive evaluation across all entries. Participation Method: Teams are encouraged to compete, with cross-disciplinary collaboration, participation from multiple specialties, different grades, as well as joint efforts between schools and enterprises permitted.
Work submission requirements(I) Registration Form and Registration Number: After successful registration, the organizing committee will provide a work number, which serves as proof for submitting the team’s work, participating in online evaluations, and checking results. Please verify it carefully.
