Abstract Recently, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the "Notice on Implementing Green Building Actions for Safe Housing," which mandates that affordable housing projects meet green building standards and lead the way in sustainable development. Following this, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the "Notice on the Construction of Green Rural Buildings," aiming to promote eco-friendly housing in rural areas and bring green materials into the countryside. These initiatives are creating new opportunities for the green building materials industry.
In October 2013, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly established the Green Building Materials Promotion and Application Coordination Group, with the goal of accelerating the adoption of environmentally friendly construction materials. According to industry experts, the strong support from these two ministries stems from the fact that China's building sector consumes a significant portion of national energy. The transformation of the building materials industry is not only necessary but urgent.
It is reported that building energy consumption accounts for approximately 30% of total social energy use, while the production of building materials adds another 13%, making the total energy use in buildings exceed 40% of the national total. The building materials industry uses vast amounts of mineral resources annually—about 10 billion tons. Wall materials and cement alone account for 52% and 39% of that total, respectively. Director Yao Yan of China Building Materials Group pointed out that China faces challenges such as the scarcity of high-quality lime and clay, and the industry has historically emitted large quantities of harmful gases and dust. For instance, carbon monoxide emissions from lime, traditional wall materials, and cement reached 660 million tons annually, accounting for about 40% of China’s total emissions. Clearly, a green transformation is essential.
On January 1, 2013, the General Office of the State Council forwarded the "Green Building Action Plan" developed by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. The plan aims to complete 1 billion square meters of new green buildings during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan†period and ensure that 20% of new urban buildings meet green standards by 2015. Additionally, nearly 600 million square meters of existing buildings require retrofitting.
Industry insiders estimate that green building projects during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan†will drive demand for green building materials worth two trillion yuan. “For materials like diatomite, the coverage per square meter is about 3-3.5 times, which means there is huge market potential,†said the chairman of Shenzhen Huiyide Environmental Protection Materials Co., Ltd.
Despite the promising outlook, the green building materials market still faces challenges. In rural areas and small towns, awareness is low, and applications are limited. Many consumers are concerned about high prices. “From the perspective of diatomite, our products are still expensive. To reach ordinary households, we need to break through this price barrier,†said Gu Fei.
In response, industry leaders suggest increasing public awareness and encouraging government incentives for consumers. “As the market grows, consumer acceptance improves, sales increase, and prices are expected to drop further due to technological advancements and improved production efficiency,†they added.
To support research, production, and application of green building materials, China launched its first dedicated fund—the China Social Welfare Foundation Green Building Materials Fund—in September 2013. The fund supports educational campaigns, promotes healthy living, and advocates for low-carbon development in the building materials industry.
For companies, cost reduction can also be achieved through innovative marketing strategies and supply chain integration. “By aligning the upstream raw materials, downstream production, and construction phases, costs can be significantly reduced,†said Yu Dayou, dean of the Yuanda Residential Design Institute.
In conclusion, the green building materials industry presents both opportunities and challenges. Market growth requires coordinated efforts from all stakeholders. After the central government formed the coordination group, several provinces, including Sichuan and Jiangxi, established their own groups to address local issues and accelerate industry development. Cities like Suqian, Tengzhou, Fuyang, and Maanshan have actively promoted the construction of green building material industrial parks, aiming to foster cluster development and enhance the industry's sustainability.

Normally open air valves are a type of Solenoid Valve that is designed to remain open in its default state, allowing air or gas to flow through the valve at all times. These mini air valves are commonly used in a variety of applications where a constant flow of air or gas is required, such as in pneumatic systems and gas pipelines.
The primary function of a normally open air valve is to provide a continuous flow of air or gas through a system, which can help to maintain consistent pressure levels and prevent the buildup of excess pressure or vacuum. These valves are typically operated by a solenoid or other type of electrical control, which can be used to open or close the valve as needed.
There are several different types of normally open air valves available, each of which is designed to meet specific application requirements. Overall, normally open air valves are an essential component in many industrial and commercial systems, providing a reliable and efficient means of controlling the flow of air or gas through a system.
