Four Policies for the Development of Steel Structures

1. To promote green construction and building energy conservation and emission reduction, and to promote the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development has approved some steel structure companies to carry out pilot projects for general contracting of housing construction. The significance of this is to broaden the market access and contracting scope of industry companies for major engineering steel structures, and it is conducive to the industry's development of green integrated building market and promoting the process of building industrialization.

2. The State Council issued the "2014-2015 Energy Conservation, Emission Reduction and Low-Carbon Development Action Plan", proposing "to focus on residential buildings, take building industrialization as the core, increase support for the production of building parts, and promote the modernization of the construction industry". The precise meaning is that the main force of building partization is steel structure buildings. Steel structures are completed as much as possible in the factory, which has a positive significance for promoting the application of steel structures in the construction field.

3. The approval of the "Green Building Evaluation Standard" as a national standard and its implementation from January 1st marks the beginning of China's green building entering the 2.0 era. Its important significance is that steel structures are one of the two building systems required to be promoted in the "Green Building Action Plan" of the State Council, and it is also the main direction of energy conservation and emission reduction in the construction industry.

4. In the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Construction Industry" of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the steel structure industry and construction industry are compiled as independent chapters. Steel structures will become an important pillar of the construction industry. The significance we believe is as follows: Promoting steel structures is an important means to promote the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry and achieve the modernization of the construction industry; it is also an important guarantee to improve the seismic performance of buildings and reduce the losses caused by earthquake disasters; it is an important measure to alleviate the overcapacity of steel and form strategic reserves of steel; it is an important grasp to promote wall material innovation and drive the upgrading of traditional building materials industry.
