Focus On Canlon | The "Fourth Generation Of Housing" Is Coming, Suzhou Is The First To Pilot It, How Does Canlon Promote The "New Quality Productivity" Of Ecological Buildings?

The "fourth generation housing" trend that has been very popular in recent years has finally reached southern Jiangsu.

The so-called fourth-generation residence, also known as "courtyard house" or "urban forest garden building", combines many advantages of traditional Chinese courtyards, hutong streets, low-rise villas and high-rise elevators, allowing architecture and garden landscapes to coexist and integrate, bringing people a new generation of ideal living space that is green, ecological, healthy and comfortable.

The emergence of the fourth-generation housing will drive residential construction towards "new quality productivity" , bring diversified, high-quality iterative residential products to the market, meet people's demand for improved quality of life, and form differentiated competition with the second-hand housing market. It is of great significance to guide the healthy development of the real estate market and promote high-quality urban development.

Just like supporting the development of new energy vehicles, local governments have provided various policy support and guidance to support the development of fourth-generation housing.

At the end of February (2.28), the Wujiang District Self-Regulation Bureau of Suzhou City issued new regulations on three-dimensional ecological housing, requiring that residential buildings with seven floors or above in the future should have indoor sky gardens with gardens and courtyards in every house. Then, in early March, the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued guidelines for the design and construction of improved housing, proposing new design standards for improved housing.

Such supports include but are not limited to excluding the property area of aerial ecological courtyards, increasing the proportion of the external balcony of the residential unit in the total area, etc. This allows the fourth-generation residential units to have a very large proportion of free ecological courtyard space, which, with its many advantages such as a more ecologically healthy living style, more diversified life scenes, and a higher house ratio, forms a dimensionality reduction attack on traditional residential units.

It can be said that in the future, whether developers are willing or not, if they want their products to be competitive in the market, they need to consider setting up "ecological balconies", otherwise it will be easy to lose competitiveness among products of the same area in the market.

In the new model of harmonious human settlement, what matters is high quality, new technology and good service.

Compared with ordinary residential houses in recent years, the fourth-generation houses are more targeted. Taking a project in Suzhou as an example, the distance between the project buildings is wide, which is used to create a central waterscape and Shanghai-style garden landscape, taking water as the guide to achieve the symbiosis of water and trees.

Everything has two sides . The fourth-generation housing has obvious advantages, but it also faces many challenges.

It can be imagined that whether it is a private courtyard or an underground garage roof, the more superior and beautiful the drainage layout of the green area is and the more reasonable the comprehensive functions are, the greater the solution to the problem of flooding after heavy rain.

The siphon drainage collection system launched by Canlon which is suitable for the planting roof of underground garages in China, will seamlessly connect the infiltration, retention, storage, purification, use and drainage requirements required for sponge city construction and fourth-generation residential construction.

The system collects surface water and infiltration water and recycles them, which can keep the roof water level at a low level, maintain the air and water permeability of the soil, ensure the normal growth of plants, and achieve integrated waterproofing and drainage.

At the same time, for the fourth-generation residential green roof scene, the ground waterproof layer must also use root-resistant waterproof materials. The performance limit of a root-resistant waterproof membrane will directly affect the waterproof quality of the house. In this regard, the thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) root-resistant self-adhesive waterproof membrane ( MBP-ZZ ) developed and produced by Canlon is such a "responsible" membrane.

This product uses glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic polyolefin as the main material, with a heat treatment dimensional change rate of ≤0.1%. It has good dimensional stability, good flexibility, weather resistance and other properties. The polymer pressure sensitive adhesive film coated on the TPO sheet has good bonding properties, and also has excellent viscoelasticity and self-healing ability, and is not prone to water leakage causing waterproof failure.

This product is produced using Canlon's many years of polymer material molding technology and bonding/adhesion technology. It complies with the national standard GB/T 35468-2017 "Root Resistant Waterproof Membrane for Green Roofs". It has advanced production technology and has passed the scientific and technological achievement evaluation of the building waterproofing industry. It won the third prize of the 2022 "Building Waterproofing Industry Science and Technology Award-Technological Progress Award" and was awarded the 2022 "Innovative Product" Achievement Award.

In order to promote the development of low-carbon economy and industrial transformation and upgrading, experts from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development visited Chengdu Seven One Urban Forest Garden in January 2019, and this "three-dimensional greening" design concept was highly recognized. It must be said that the green and low-carbon strategy of CANLON is highly consistent with the needs of the fourth-generation residential construction and the "dual carbon" goals, and is expected to provide more popular new products for the garden city and planted roof market.
