World First Super-scale Zero-carbon Building in Qingdao

QINGDAO, CHINA - AUGUST 25, 2025 - The fully automatic ultra-fast three-dimensional parking system of the wTorld's first "ultra-advanced zero-carbon building" only requires 300 vehicles to provide 10 kilowatt-hours of electricity per day to solve nearly half of the building's energy consumption. Qingdao, Shandong Province, China on August 25, 2025. This building has achieved 100% self-sufficiency in green electricity through technologies such as integrated photovoltaic curtain walls, secondary battery energy storage, and the coordinated charging and discharging of new energy vehicles, reducing carbon emissions by approximately 2,500 tons annually.
