Nie Meisheng: Green Building Business Model To Be Formed

A sudden epidemic in 2020 puts forward higher requirements for China's green buildings.

Green building is not only the green of environmental resources, but also the safety of human beings. In order to achieve higher quality development, green buildings need technology empowerment and financial water.

On August 8, at the 20th annual meeting of Boao 21st century real estate forum, Nie Meisheng, founder chairman of the all China Real Estate Chamber of Commerce and chairman of Jingrui human settlements development foundation, expressed the above views. She also pointed out that the development of green buildings depends on science and technology and financial empowerment, and needs to find new business models.

Digitalization makes green building more intelligent

Green building has been developed for 20 years in China. In the first ten years, green building mainly focuses on "four sections and one environmental protection". It emphasizes the green performance of the building itself, but lacks people's living experience.

In the past ten years, green buildings return to people-oriented, pay attention to health and safety attributes, and gradually turn to digital and intelligent. In particular, the epidemic has sounded the alarm for everyone. Nie Meisheng pointed out that all green buildings should finally pay attention to the development of human beings.

First of all, we should use technology to make green buildings more intelligent.

She analyzed the cases in the epidemic. The reason why China has been able to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control is that on the one hand, tangible community walls have played a better role in isolation and control of epidemic prevention and control, and the second is the joint operation of the Internet of things formed by two-dimensional code, GPS, big data and monitoring sensors.

The epidemic situation makes people realize the power of technology empowerment in impermanence. Nie Meisheng believes that digital empowerment of green economy is already a global thing. Without the help of digital technology and intelligent system, "four saving and one environmental protection" and human health and safety can not be guaranteed.

Technology is the primary productive force, so is green building. To continue to maintain high-quality development, green building must be combined with digital and intelligent. Nie Meisheng pointed out that if people want to live in a comfortable, safe, efficient and healthy environment, it must be related to the Internet of things, sensors, big data analysis, comprehensive scheduling and other technologies.

She said that the all China Real Estate Chamber of Commerce and the National Standardization Commission are about to jointly launch a series of standards for digital communities. Informatization and intellectualization are the future development trend of community, and green building can not be "alone".

Green Financial empowerment faces difficulties

"The right and left" needs to be complete. Nie Meisheng said: "it is impossible to develop green buildings without financial support.". As a stepping stone for the development of an industry, finance plays a fundamental role.

The development of green building needs financial support. Nie Meisheng said that China's finance is nothing more than development loans, personal loans, enterprise loans, trust, etc., but for green buildings, there is another support that is green finance.

She introduced the green debt which is developing gradually and has low financing cost in China. She said that the financing cost of domestic real estate enterprises is generally around 10%, but the interest rate of green bonds is basically 5%. Longhu has issued about 4 billion yuan, and the interest rate is basically between 4.4% and 4.6%.

In addition to the low interest rate, Nie Meisheng also said that the single project of green bond raised more funds, more flexible use of funds and time, and higher audit efficiency.

These characteristics of green debt are of great significance to the green reform of real estate. First of all, green debt provides financial support for the development of green buildings and is an important backing for the green reform of real estate. Secondly, under the comprehensive effect, it will force the real estate enterprises to carry out green reform, thus promoting the real estate industry to green development.

However, the overall development of green finance empowerment in China is not brilliant. The global green finance invested in green buildings accounts for about 30%, while only 6% in China. Nie Meisheng believes that there are two main reasons for this situation: one is the information release, the "green benefit" evaluation and release are not connected with the financial system, and the other is the credit system.

From the overall perspective to the specific point of view, the dilemma of green finance empowerment is that real estate enterprises that want to be green buildings can not get money, and financial institutions can not find good projects if they have money.

Now, the basic reason for this kind of real estate development is strange. Secondly, green bonds prefer enterprises with credit rating of AAA and AA +, but these enterprises have many financing means, so their financing cost is relatively low and their dependence on green bonds is not high.

However, some small and medium-sized enterprises do not have enough green financial support to support them.

Money shortage and asset shortage exist at the same time, green finance and green building can not be successfully matched. Therefore, green finance still needs to solve this mismatch problem on the road of enabling green buildings.

At the end of the speech, Nie Meisheng said that the three major events mentioned by the state, including digital economy, green development and old reform, should be considered comprehensively to form a new business model and get out of the current cycle.
