The new version of "Residential Project Code" will be implemented on May 1. This mandatory norm makes requirements for living environment, building space, indoor environment and other aspects.

  Elevators are set up in residential buildings with floor heights of no less than 3 meters, 4 floors or above... The new regulations are implemented, how can we better meet the people's high-quality living needs? What impact will it have on the future transformation and upgrading of the living environment and real estate industry?

  More "good houses" enter the market

  The floor height is 3 meters or more, the expansion space is set up in different apartment types, and the overhead floor is about 3,000 square meters to build a shared gathering place for all ages... In Minhang District, Shanghai, the "Xiangyu Tianchen Yasong" project was first opened on April 29 and was sold out during the May Day. It is understood that the developer plans to launch second batch of properties by the end of May.

  During the interview, the reporter found that recently many places across the country have entered the market with the characteristics of "good houses". With the implementation of the "Residential Project Code", it has met the "good house" standard and has become the selling point of some real estate projects, attracting many home viewers.

  In Yantai, Shandong, the first 100 units launched by Blue Sky Boshiyayuan on May 1 were liquidated on the same day. "This project is very attractive to us in terms of planning, apartment types and supporting facilities. Each elevator is one household, including a basketball court, a gym, a swimming pool, a yoga hall, and a community canteen. The aluminum entrance door with a level 7 insulation also satisfies us." said Mr. Zheng, a home buyer.

  From the past "living for living" to the present "living for living", home buyers pay more attention to residential quality, and the demand for smart homes, green homes, architectural design, and complete supporting facilities is increasing.

  In Chengdu, at the large-scale home purchase event "Anjia Chengdu, Beautiful House Purchase Season" launched on the eve of the May Day holiday, 30 well-known real estate companies brought more than 120 real estate projects. Many real estate companies have launched immersive experience activities of "good houses" to show the market the new standards of "good houses" through innovative apartment design and quality upgrades.

  Since the beginning of this year, the "reducing quantity and improving quality" adjustment on the land side also shows that the supply of "good houses" will increase significantly in the future. Most cities actively adjust their supply structure, compress the scale of land supply, focus on high-quality plots, and launch a lot of "small and beautiful" land. Taking Hangzhou as an example, of the commercial residential land that has been sold this year, about 90% of the single land plot does not exceed 90,000 square meters; these lands are fully equipped and have a moderate floor area ratio, making them more suitable for the development of high-quality residential buildings.

  Many developers believe that from meeting basic living needs, to paying attention to the balance and versatility of living space, to paying more attention to the integration with nature and external space, in the future, more and more "good houses" will enter the market to meet people's increasingly diverse needs.

  More pursuit of quality and innovation

  The new version of the "Residential Project Code" requires that residential project construction should aim at safety, comfort, greenness and wisdom. Industry insiders generally believe that the new regulations will promote further iteration and upgrading of residential products in terms of quality and innovation.

  The overhead floor of nearly 1,000 square meters has shared spaces such as gym, children's entertainment area, elderly leisure area, book bar, etc. The interior adopts a more flexible and variable layout, all apartments have a floor height of 3 meters, and semi-open balcony is distributed in a split-level manner... Near the Life Science Park of Shahe Town, Changping District, Beijing, the first landing demonstration project of the National "Good House" Design Competition, "Longhu Guancui", is under construction.

  "The new regulations have increased the height of residential floors by 20 cm, and this adjustment takes into account the growth trend of the height of Chinese residents." Zeng Yu, senior architect of the China Academy of Architectural Sciences, said that after the increase in floor height, it not only provides the possibility to expand the window area, improve indoor ventilation and lighting, but also provides space for increasing the thickness of floor slab components, installing sound insulation panels, and installing whole-house smart equipment.

  In terms of living environment, the new regulations require every house to have rooms that meet the sunshine standards, and put forward requirements on residential sound insulation and noise indicators, and put forward basic performance requirements for residential buildings from the three aspects of warmth in winter, thermal insulation in summer, and building ventilation.

  Experts said that these indicators require that standardized design of residential projects should not only control the building spacing, but also optimize the graphic design and consider the reasonable layout of indoor space.

  In order to make the "silver-haired people" live safely and comfortably, the new regulations have strengthened the aging-friendly design of the house, requiring handrails or reserved installation conditions next to the toilets and baths in the bathroom; each residential unit should have at least one barrier-free public entrance and exit; and the clear width requirements for the passage of doors, bedroom doors, kitchen doors and bathroom doors have been improved.

  At the Jincheng Rongji Zhenyue project in Zibo City, Shandong Province, the reporter saw that the barrier-free ramp was wide and flat; when entering the elevator, the call system immediately responded; before the entrance threshold, the design of the wheelchair was free to travel without any obstacles; the shower area of ​​the bathroom, the toilet and the toilet were equipped with handrails for the elderly, and the indoor emergency call system was directly connected to the property... The community is integrating the aging-friendly design into the entire life scene.

  To build a "good house", green and low-carbon and technological empowerment are trends.

  Taking the Yuexiu Bund Yue project as an example, ultra-low-energy building technology systems such as integrated insulation and maintenance systems, three-glass and two-cavity system windows and roof photovoltaic systems reduce energy consumption by more than 30%, and form a sustainable community microclimate through rainwater recycling and ecological landscape circulation.

  The head of the Shanghai Business Department of Zhongneng Construction City Investment Development Co., Ltd. said that the company is actively exploring the construction of ultra-low energy consumption buildings and zero-carbon buildings. In terms of design, by optimizing building orientation, ventilation design, etc., we will reduce our dependence on air conditioning and lighting. In terms of material selection, green building materials with environmentally friendly certification are preferred to reduce environmental pollution.

  What is the impact on the housing market

  Industry insiders generally believe that the improvement of national residential standards will have an important impact on the development of the real estate industry. The new regulations will force real estate companies to start from the full cycle of product standards, R&D, and iteration, and continuously increase the application of new products, new materials, new processes, new generation information technology and intelligent construction technology. A more diverse and hierarchical market will stimulate the potential for improving housing demand.

  "In the long run, the new regulations will guide the real estate industry from the past pursuit of "high turnover" to the pursuit of high quality, pointing out the direction of change for real estate companies and upstream and downstream companies." He Xinyu, general manager of Chengdu Ruihetai Industrial and Urban Development Research Institute, said.

  Since the beginning of this year, nearly ten provinces and cities including Beijing, Shandong, Shanxi, Jiangsu, Guizhou, and Sichuan have made efforts in the entire chain from standard formulation, land supply to construction technology to build a high-quality housing construction system based on regional characteristics.　　

  After the new regulations are implemented, many people pay attention to what changes will happen to the real estate market.

  Regarding the new properties for sale, Li Yujia, chief researcher of the Guangdong Housing Policy Research Center, said that in recent years, some developers have launched upgraded versions of improved houses, which have surpassed the bottom-line indicators of the new regulations in terms of decoration and design, so the new regulations have little impact on these improved properties. However, some new house projects that do not meet the standards of materials, backward design, and rough decoration may be affected.

  "Even in the same location, due to the different quality of the property, sales are still in the middle of the day." Yan Yuejin, deputy director of the Yiju Real Estate Research Institute, said.

  Regarding the second-hand residential market, Li Yujia believes that products, location and price are the three core factors in home purchase decisions. Some second-hand residential buildings have good locations, rich educational and medical resources, and have price competitive advantages. Even if they are inferior in apartment design, they are still popular in the market.

  The introduction of the new regulations has also opened up a channel for "counterattack" for the old, broken and small. By benchmarking against the new version of the specifications, old communities can achieve a leap in value by installing elevators, noise cancellation and renovation, aging-friendly transformation, and supporting facilities. Chen Jie, a professor at Shanghai Jiaotong University, said that localities are currently optimizing the stock, improving residential functions and supporting facilities through urban renewal and old city renovation, and filling in the shortcomings of basic public service facilities. These measures are beneficial to increasing the market value of second-hand housing.

  Promoting the construction of "good houses" is related to the welfare of the people and is also an important tool for the high-quality development of real estate. Industry insiders believe that after the new regulations are implemented, we must pay attention to the implementation. All localities should focus on models, establish standards, and establish systems, improve policy support in combination with regional characteristics, further clarify work plans and action plans, and continuously promote the construction of "good houses" to better meet the people's high-quality living needs.
