Chinese innovation and efficiency.
Prefabricated modular buildings have many advantages over conventional ones :
Higher precision in fabrication (+/- 0.2mm).
Better coordinated on-site construction management.
Shorter construction time span.
Lower construction waste.
Many other environment, health and energy features are included in Broad Sustainable Buildings (BSB).
The building construction started in december 2011 and was ready for opening for the New Year's eve.
[video v=Hdpf-MQM9vY start=2 stop=178]China overtook the US during 2009 to become the leading investor in renewable energy technologies, according to a new analysis. Researchers with the Pew Charitable Trusts calculate that China invested $34.6bn (£23.2bn) in clean energy over the year, almost double the US figure. China's target of having 30GW of installed renewable capacity in place by 2020 will soon be exceeded through wind alone, and new targets are in the process of being set.

Fast growing algae as a biofuel source does not displace crops, and requires only sunlight to withdraw carbon dioxide from the air.
In total, China is outspending the US by almost 7:1, pledging $440 billion vs $69 billion for clean energy over the coming years.
A new wind power plant will be 25 larger than the current world's largest; and a new solar power plant will be 33 times larger!
China vaulted past competitors in Denmark, Germany, Spain, and the United States last year to become the world’s largest maker of wind turbines, and is poised to expand even further this year.
China has also leapfrogged the West in the last two years to emerge as the world’s largest manufacturer of solar panels. ... more ...
China's utilities will be required to buy all the power produced by wind farms and other renewable sources under a new law meant to promote the industry and reduce heavy reliance on coal. China is one of the biggest users of wind power and the government is trying to promote use of solar by promising to pay up to 70 percent of the cost of new systems. ... more ...
