Through a window, taste the integrity of the Olympic Games

Walking into the Mountain News Center of the Yanqing Area of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, looking up, the skylights on the roof attract the attention: Why are the windows used for light transmission dark?

Originally, these skylights use side lighting methods, which do not affect the natural light projection into the room, and are equipped with dark photovoltaic power generation components, which have the dual functions of lighting and power generation, saving energy and reducing consumption for the venue. It is estimated that these skylights can save about 40.8 tons of standard coal and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 36.7 tons per year in the operation of the venue.

A special skylight embodies the ingenuity and wisdom of the builders, and also reflects the principles and pursuits of the preparations for the Winter Olympics: We must adhere to the frugality of running the Games, strictly manage the budget, strictly control the cost of running the Olympic Games, strengthen supervision and discipline, and do a good job in "running the Olympic Games with integrity."

The concept of "clean Olympic Games" has been consistent since the beginning of the preparation of the Winter Olympics: from the planning of new construction and transformation of venues, to the determination of a rubber bandwidth, the consideration of bit by bit in a large hand, the pursuit of excellence in small details, and the strengthening of audit supervision in each project operation. From the reuse of the venue where the "Water Cube" switches the "Ice Cube", to the intensive use of the main news center and the International Broadcasting Center into one, from a desk "can be borrowed or rented, can be rented or not bought", to a skylight "spontaneous self-use, surplus electricity on the Internet"... Science and technology highlight wisdom, thrift to help green, out of the Winter Olympics sustainable development road.

"Clean Olympics" also sets a new benchmark for the operation of the Winter Olympic Games, summer Olympic Games and other competitions, echoes the direction of "affordable, profitable and sustainable" Olympic Games reform, and also promotes the better integration of the results of the preparations into urban development and regional development and into the well-being of the people.

Fully implement the requirements of "simple, safe and wonderful", highlight the characteristics of "science and technology, wisdom, green and thrifty", and a "wonderful, extraordinary and excellent" Olympic event is coming. "As pure and flawless as ice and snow", the Beijing Winter Olympic games and the Winter Paralympic Games contributed Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions to the development of the Olympic movement, and a new picture of ice and snow is slowly unfolding.
