Beijing will present a green residential community, incorporating the comprehensive use of renewable energy and eco-friendly technology, for its Urban Best Practices showcase at Expo 2010.
The initiative was inspired by the energy-efficient Olympic Village, which created a healthy and cozy environment for residents.
Hong Hao, director of the Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination, and Liu Zhi, deputy secretary-general of the Beijing Municipal Government, signed Beijing's UBPA participation contract on Oct 27, 2009.
The display will showcase technology in generating power and heating from a wide range of natural energy sources such as wind power and geothermal power.
Visitors will be able to experience eco-friendly buildings via some interactive items such as an intelligent control system.
