1. The inevitability of urban green lighting development
1.1 The concept of urban green lighting
The urban green lighting project involves science, technology, culture, economy and other fields, involving optical, electrical, aesthetic, architecture, computer and other disciplines. It is also a comprehensive and systematic project.
China's urban green lighting is to create a night environment that reflects the safety, comfort, economy and health of modern civilization. Specifically, it is based on the premise of the government's full attention and organizational leadership, with a sound regulatory policy and management system as the basis, based on the scientific and standardized urban lighting special plan, based on efficient energy-saving lighting electrical products, advanced Modern lighting technology as a means to meet the growing needs of the people to improve the quality and level of lighting and to save energy, protect the environment and promote the sustainable development of the national economy, and consist of the above-mentioned interrelated and interactive elements. Establish the whole process of the overall system of urban lighting environment with green environmental protection, high efficiency and energy saving, safe economy, and healthy humanities. The theoretical basis and guiding ideology for establishing this system is the concept of green lighting.
1.2 The significance of urban green lighting
"Eleventh Five-Year" Urban Green Lighting Project Planning Outline [Building City (2006) No. 48] and "Twelfth Five-Year" Urban Green Lighting Planning Outline [Jiancheng (2011) No. 178] are all green lighting in China's cities The work put forward the requirements and clarified the guiding ideology. The "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period is a crucial period for building a well-off society in an all-round way and is a crucial period for accelerating the transformation of economic development. The implementation of urban green lighting project is a new requirement put forward by the rapid development of urbanization and the transformation of economic development mode. It is the need of urban social life and economic development, and is the core of promoting urban lighting energy conservation and improving urban lighting quality. Therefore, whether it is from the perspective of perfecting theory or guiding practice, establishing the concept of urban green lighting, strengthening the discussion and research of urban green lighting engineering systems, and promoting the healthy and orderly development of urban green lighting projects have very important practical significance. Far-reaching historical significance.
2. Historical opportunity for the development of urban green lighting
With the advancement of science and technology, economic development and urbanization, especially the outbreak of the international financial crisis in recent years, it has caused problems in the world's energy resources and climate change, and the city's green lighting has become an improvement. The urgent need to live in the environment has become an important feature of urban civilization. The tide of promoting green lighting in the world is on the rise, and many countries and regions such as the United States, the European Union, Canada, and Japan have carried out green lighting promotion work for many years. Since the launch of the "China Green Lighting Project" in the 1990s, China's urban green lighting project has also made considerable progress.
2.1 One of the historical opportunities - "China Green Lighting Project"
In October 1996, the State Economic and Trade Commission and the relevant state ministries and commissions formulated the "China Green Lighting Project Implementation Plan", and jointly launched the "China Green" to save energy, protect the environment and improve lighting quality during the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" period. Lighting Engineering, organized pilot and implementation work. Under the leadership of the government, market promotion, public participation and related efforts, the urban green lighting project has been greatly developed. During the “10th Five-Year Plan†period, on the basis of summing up the work experience of “China Green Lighting Projectâ€, the Ministry of Construction, together with the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and other departments, vigorously promoted green lighting projects in the urban lighting industry and launched the “China Green Lighting Project Promotion Projectâ€. Positive progress has been made: the urban green lighting management department has been clarified; the urban lighting power-saving management system has been further improved; the urban lighting regulations and the green lighting standard system have been continuously strengthened; the “Green Lighting Demonstration Project†has accumulated useful experience; Promote and adopt high-efficiency lighting electrical products; the daily maintenance and management of urban lighting has been strengthened. During the "10th Five-Year Plan" period, the main tasks of urban green lighting "improving regulations, regulating markets, typical demonstrations, publicity and education, and international cooperation" were basically completed, which played a good demonstration role in energy conservation and environmental protection, and achieved remarkable economic benefits and Social benefits.
2.2 Historical Opportunity II - Lighting Energy Conservation Regulations and Policy Documents
In 1998, the Law of the People's Republic of China on Energy Conservation was promulgated. This is the first legal document in China that has a high legal effect on energy conservation. In the 21st century, the State Council and the Ministry of Construction have successively issued a series of documents, which have further set clear requirements for the legalization of urban lighting management. For example, in 2004, the Ministry of Construction and the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "Opinions on Strengthening Urban Lighting Management to Promote Energy Conservation Work" (Jiancheng [2004] No. 204), for the first time put forward the concept of "urban lighting", clearly requiring "establishment and soundness" Urban Lighting Regulations and Standards System, planning, construction and management of urban lighting according to law; The State Council’s Decision on Strengthening Energy Conservation Work issued by the State Council in 2006 (Guo Fa [2006] No. 28) emphasizes the importance of energy conservation and emission reduction work. Sexuality, listed green lighting as one of China's top ten key energy-saving projects, requiring sound laws and regulations and standards systems; and so on. After these policies and normative documents were issued, the construction of urban lighting regulations and standards system was gradually put on the agenda. The understanding of green lighting was further improved by governments at all levels and all walks of life. Urban lighting management was further strengthened, and the lighting industry was Further development has achieved significant economic and social benefits and made positive contributions to the development of China's energy conservation and environmental protection cause.
