Green Design
Ocean Flower Island is designed with the concept of “Green Heart, Green Veins and Green Appearance” as the core image.
Green Heart: refers to the low carbon living experience. The Ocean Flower Island consists of 100% green architectures, uses green energy and sustainable water resources, and achieves harmless solid waste and smart tourism. It has applied as a green ecological city in China and has promoted LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) to develop into an international green commercial city. During the construction, Ocean Flower Island tries to reduce the demand on energy and lower the operation cost. Moreover, it uses recycling energy from solar, wind, and tidal power to create a unique renewable energy landscape and reduce the impact of energy consumption on the environment. Combined with the local natural condition, it sets up a rainwater storage tank and facilities to reuse the processed rainwater for sprinkling the plants.
Green Veins: represents the green infrastructures that implemented on the Ocean Flower Island. They have compound functions, complete facilities, green transportation, and diversified habitat. To achieve green transportation on the island, it promotes using the fuel cell, hybrid, hydrogen energy power vehicles as a dedicated line to develop a distinctive green tour bus system. Moreover, charging piles are set in all the parking lots to fulfill the charging demand for electric vehicles.
Green Appearance: refers the ecological humanities display, which includes ecological landscape and cultural preaching on the Ocean Flower Island.
In order to build an ecological landscape, the island will be mainly farmed with local plants and supported with harmonious plant system, water ecological environment, and green system to develop a habitat with low pollution for multiple organisms.
