Ecopark boosts global standardization efforts

Qingdao-based Sino-German Ecopark, the only strategic cooperation park in China between the Chinese and German governments, has been pushing forward the standardization of energy-saving buildings domestically and internationally.

The effort was widely recognized by worldwide architectural experts and industry insiders after a new passive house experience center became operational at the park late last week.

A passive house is a method of construction that employs rigorous standards for energy efficiency, while seeking to reduce a building's ecological footprint.
