Jixiang Building Materials Group to Present at Asia Green Building Summit, Showcasing Sustainable Innovations in Aluminum Composite Panel Technology

Shanghai Jixiang Building Materials Group, a leading manufacturer and participant in industry standards for Aluminum Composite Panels (ACP), has been invited as a keynote speaker at the prestigious 2025 Asia Green Building Innovation Summit, scheduled for September in Singapore. This marks the third consecutive year Jixiang has been featured at the summit, underscoring its growing influence in promoting sustainable construction practices across Asia and beyond. The summit, themed “Circularity in Construction: From Materials to Megaprojects”, will also feature interactive roundtables and live technology demonstrations, positioning it as a pivotal nexus for cross-border collaboration among green building stakeholders.

The summit brings together architects, developers, materials scientists, and policymakers from over 40 countries, focusing on accelerating the adoption of green building technologies in response to global climate commitments. Dr. Li Wei, Chief Technology Officer of Jixiang, will deliver a keynote presentation titled "R&D and Application of Low-Carbon Curtain Wall Materials: From Certification to On-Site Performance." His address will highlight Jixiang's multi-year research into reducing the carbon footprint of ACP production while maintaining structural integrity, weather resistance, and aesthetic versatility. Dr. Li will also delve into the company’s carbon accounting methodology, a rigorous framework that quantifies emissions across the entire product lifecycle, from bauxite mining for aluminum to end-of-panel recycling.

A significant portion of the presentation will focus on Jixiang’s "GreenCore" series—a line of ACP products incorporating up to 30% recycled aluminum content and manufactured using a low-emission coating process. These panels have already received Green Building Product Certification from the China Building Materials Testing & Certification Center (CTC), along with international recognition under the ISO 14025 Environmental Product Declaration framework. Dr. Li will present case studies from projects in China and Southeast Asia where GreenCore panels contributed to achieving LEED and China Green Building Label certifications, with one standout project being a 50-story commercial skyscraper in Kuala Lumpur that cut its facade carbon emissions by 28% compared to conventional materials. This high-rise project also leveraged Jixiang’s inter-panel thermal bridging mitigation design, further boosting the building’s overall energy efficiency by 12%.

In addition to product innovation, Jixiang will showcase its proprietary digital tool—the "Jixiang Eco-Calculator"—an online platform enabling architects and project developers to estimate the carbon reduction and energy-saving potential of using Jixiang ACP systems compared to traditional facade materials. The tool, set to launch in beta during the summit, is designed to support transparent, data-driven decision-making in the design phase, with customizable parameters that account for regional climate conditions, building height, and usage scenarios to deliver tailored, actionable insights. Uniquely, the Eco-Calculator integrates real-time carbon credit valuation modules, allowing users to quantify the financial benefits of choosing low-carbon materials alongside environmental gains.

Beyond the keynote, Jixiang will host an interactive exhibition booth featuring full-scale mock-ups of its latest ACP systems, including the recently launched "VentCool" ventilated facade system, which enhances building energy efficiency through passive thermal regulation by creating a natural air gap that reduces heat transfer in summer and retains warmth in winter. The booth will also introduce Jixiang’s new "ColorGuard" warranty program, offering up to 20 years of color stability and coating integrity assurance—an industry-leading commitment that reflects the company’s confidence in its advanced fluoropolymer coating technology, which resists fading, chalking, and corrosion even in harsh coastal or industrial environments. Visitors will have the opportunity to conduct hands-on abrasion and chemical resistance tests on sample panels, witnessing the technology’s durability firsthand.

The 2025 summit will also serve as a platform for Jixiang to announce an upcoming collaboration with the Singapore Green Building Council on a joint research initiative aimed at developing next-generation fire-resistant and recyclable ACP materials for high-rise applications. This partnership aligns with Jixiang’s long-term strategy to deepen its engagement in Southeast Asia’s rapidly urbanizing markets, where demand for safe, sustainable building materials is surging amid stricter environmental regulations and a push for net-zero carbon buildings by 2050. The joint R&D project will prioritize bio-based resin integration into ACP cores, further lowering the product’s carbon footprint while enhancing fire safety performance.

"Being invited to speak at the Asia Green Building Innovation Summit for the third consecutive year is both an honor and a testament to our team’s relentless pursuit of sustainable innovation," said Dr. Li in a pre-summit statement. "We believe that aluminum composite panels, when designed and manufactured with circular economy principles, can play a crucial role in creating buildings that are not only beautiful and durable but also environmentally responsible. Our goal is to set a new standard for the industry, proving that sustainability and performance can go hand in hand without compromise."

Jixiang’s participation in the summit reinforces its role not only as a material supplier but also as a thought leader and solutions partner in the global green building movement. The company’s "Jixiang Jiamei" brand products—already widely used in projects ranging from Beijing Olympic venues and airport terminals to commercial towers and cultural landmarks across more than 100 countries—continue to set benchmarks for performance and sustainability in the global facade industry. What’s more, Jixiang’s on-site technical support team, which provides end-to-end guidance from design optimization to installation supervision, has earned high praise from clients worldwide, further solidifying the company’s reputation as a reliable partner for green building projects of all scales.
